Yes, initially the code was almost identical in pop3d and in imap4d.
However, I've noticed that pop3d was not able to keep the correct
number of children, i.e. at some moment it would stop to receive
further connections issuing "too many children" diagnostics, though
it had only a pair of them. I attributed this behavior to the fact that
waitpid was called directly from the signal handler and moved it to
a separate function invoked from the main loop. The time elapsed seems
to have confirmed the correctness of this decision.

If you mean the code as it is implemented in pop3d, then the answer
is "yes".
