There are two 'chroot' code blocks, both under quite same: 'if ((global.mode & (MODE_MWORKER|MODE_DAEMON...)...' The first block serves to perform chroot only for process in the foreground mode. The second comes after master-worker fork and allows to do chroot in daemon and in worker modes. Due to moving the master-worker fork in init() in some previous commit, the second 'chroot' code block now is no longer under the 'if'. So, it is executed for all modes, except MODE_MWORKER. Now in MODE_MWORKER process enters in its wait polling loop just after forking a worker and it terminates almost immediately, if it exits this loop. Worker, daemon and process in a foreground mode will perform the chroot as before, but now it will be done in a one place at main().
