fixed a potential problem with wins_write_database() child processes.
In sig_term() we were calling wins_write_database(0) which would fork a child. This child might then get killed by the same process killing off the parent. That process would then fork another child etc. The solution is to pass a "background" flag to wins_write_database(0) and only fork if this is set. (This used to be commit 1e1a512e3ff59f962fb3de382f671618bed60839)
