Before the application exits, it needs to stop stunnel. I send a SIGINT to the PID that was created using the fork, but only the first "master" copy terminates -- the master stunnel process doesn't terminate its children when it exits.

If you have built stunnel with libwrap support, chances are high that the patch from this message might help you:

I decided to run stunnel in its own process group. That way I can just send a SIGINT to the whole group when I want stunnel to terminate. So far it seems to be working...
