    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/xtrn.cpp
    Log Message:
    Remove lprintf() call from child process of fork() call on *nix

    the info-level debug message "Detaching external process"... as this appears
    to be the cause of background events hanging sometimes, on Linux (at least).

    Log Message:
    Add node interrupt flag checking to *nix external() execution of stdio progs

    and abort the execution of the program when the node is interrupted. This should allow more cases were the node interrupt flag can be used to gracefully disconnect a user running a DOS or native (stdio) program on *nix.

    We have this functionality already in the Windows version of external()

    Log Message:
    Disable pause when running an external program.

    Not sure if this is from the terminal overhaul or from the unicode
    support, but passthru_thread calls rputs() which calls cp437_out()
    which calls outchar() which calls check_pause().

    Also, put an EINTR wrapper around waidpid()... that wasn't the
    problem I was seeing, but it's a theoretically possible one.
