cardmgr is ignoring signals

Hi David, hi all,

usuall I can terminate the cardmgr by just sending a SIGTERM to the process.
cardmgr would print e.g.

cardmgr[228]: exiting

Sending SIGHUP would make him reloading config file and printing

cardmgr[279]: re-loading config file

BUT: When I start "cardmgr" from within my application (not from shell) using 
system("/sbin/cardmgr") or popen("/sbin/cardmgr", "r") then it would _not_ react 
on this signals anymore! It does not terminate on SIGTERM nor prints anything.

Can somebody imagine why?

Thanks!
