[Devel] [ openser-Patches-1606005 ] change process name to differntiate the threads

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi!

IMO this patch is useful as it helps debugging (which thread did what, 
when certain threads crashes, ...).

As I have no glue about forking in theory and memory handling between 
the threads please review this patch  ;-)

btw: I also missed some forks - maybe someone who knows how the forking 
is done in more detail can take care of this.


regards
klaus
