Fixed issue 16: broadcast_daemon doesn't work when daemon
Resolution: open database connection after forking into background

Problem description: daemon function will close all file descriptors including the database connection, even when it would leave it open it would be dubious  if it would work. THe database destructor in the closing processes would probably also create a mess.
