After discussing with Wesley (the person who upload the sslh package in
the Debian archive for me), my suggestion break the ability of sslh to
handle connection in independant fork: if i kill the parent daemon, the
sessions are closed too.

The double fork() is so normal in this context, and i don't have any
time to diagnose the issue more closely :)
