Daemon implementations on posix systems should the same thing
according to best-practices:
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/daemon.html (step 1)

libdaemon also does that:
http://git.0pointer.de/?p=libdaemon.git;a=blob;f=libdaemon/dfork.c;h=783033fe290e715df562f20d292adfc9f26e2e3a;hb=HEAD#l491

systemd probably as well so it really seems there is no better solution.
