It's useful for when one wants to start udhcpd from
init.  With this patch I can add the following to my
inittab:

::respawn:/usr/sbin/udhcpd -f /etc/udhcpd.conf

Without foreground capability, one cannot run udhcpd
from init with the respawn action.  (Okay...someone
could but they would get respawn too fast warnings
from init.)  Udhcpd could be run from init with the
wait or once actions but then the restart feature of
respawn cannot be utilized.

I hope this helps?

Regards,
...doug
