I (vaguely) understand the difference, but I think (probably mistakenly) 
that the problems are related.

the example daemon.pp, for example, crashes right away, strace doesn't 
seem very useful to me:

luca at lspro:~/fork$ strace -f ./daemon
execve("./daemon", ["./daemon"], [/* 22 vars */]) = 0
syscall: unknown syscall trap 0x00008000


A simple program that just repeatedly sleeps after the fork, dies as 
soon as it receives any signal (e.h HUP, USR1).
