Some linux kernels have problems with occasional hangs on futex locks. This can cause an Open-iT process to hang completely, not even responding to kills. This patch makes check_daemon, which typically runs every hour from crontab, able to detect and kill hanging daemons. Without this patch, check_daemon itself would hang, resulting in one new hanging process each hour. This patch is also prefered on non-linux hosts, as it makes check_daemon more robust.
