This is something with Perl-5.6 .. I get the same error, but it still works
right... If I comment out the $SIG{CHLD} ='IGNORE'; line in cscmail you end up
with a ton of "zombie" cscget processes filling up your process table.	If you
leave it in, you get the "Can't ignore" error, but no processes, so it is
obviously ignoring them anyway! hehe  So, they changed something in 5.6
regarding $SIG's .. I'll look into it more when I get the time, but for now
thats a harmless error... CSCMail still works fine...
