Hi,

innwatch apparently creates a child process only for sleeping and then
waits on that process. The forked-off process is not killed by 'rc.news
stop' (only its parent is), and will only die after it's done sleeping.
If running under SMF on illumos/Solaris, this causes the service to
likely drop into maintenance state (since not all processes die within
timeout).

Attached patch fixes this issue.
