[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#355865: "ssh hostname sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd start" hangs ssh session

[Marcello Nuccio]

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.8-2
Severity: normal

If started through ssh, lighttpd hangs ssh session.

Try:
  ssh localhost sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd start
or
  ssh localhost sudo /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

the server starts-up but you will need to hit Ctrl-C to exit the ssh
session.  This makes impossible to use tools like capistrano.

I have fixed the problem with this patch:
