It has just occurred to me - duh - that the process ID of a back-shell
command is a perfectly good unique ID for it, and more useful than
any connection id/message id thingy.  Doesn't need extra arguments
to the shell commands either, except a pid: line to abandon.
And msgid: can still be removed in a future version.
Here is a patch.

Application is responsible for providing valid session pointers.

Adapted .Sahalayev@pgr.salford.ac.uk's submission.
Needs to be extended to support comma separated list of options
	for other controls and such.

cache entry is locked by Berkeley DB lock primitives.

clean up error code macros

so this feature is unnecessary. Also it was breaking Unix dynamic builds.

	need liblutil for lutil_getopt
	must quote args with embedded whitespace
	must track child processes in order to wait()

(must regenerate configure)

Patch: str2entry() dereferences NULL  (ITS#1822)

Sorry, last patch was wrong.  I didn't notice that e->e_dn
always is NULL at that point.  Here is a corrected patch.

  must include <ac/stdlib.h> to get MAX_PATH defined.
  use LDAP_DIRSEP instead of '/' in paths
  define truncate/ftruncate macros, etc.

Subject: Patch: str2entry() dereferences NULL  (ITS#1822)

entry.c:str2entry() prints pdn->bv_val even though pdn is always
NULL.  pdn was pretty dn before version 1.80.

A surrogate parent is supposed to keep back-shell children from
deadlocking due to resources locked by a threading parent.

Implementation note: The surrogate parent closes all unused file
descriptors, so it logs errors to stderr instead of via Debug() and
uses relloc() instead of ch_realloc().

Also close a file descriptor leak if fork() fails in fork.c.
