ForkingServer hang

Hello all,
I'm using the ForkingServer and I have noticed that the server-side
hangs
when a client disconnects. Looking through the code I found that the
SIGCHLD
handler inside the ForkingServer class needs some checks. Below is a
patch
that fixes the problem. Tomer, feel free to include this in the rpyc
distribution.
I'm using python 2.6.4 here.
