The recent patch to correct the timeout issue with spamd does not work
as expected. Since the transport filter has timed out, it sends a
malformed or incomplete data stream. This patch kills of the child
process and prevents checking of its exit status. This should prevent
the transport filter timeout message from getting overwritten by the
child's exit error.
