NoCatSplash sync patch

Hello NoCat list.  I have been using NoCatAuth for a while now and was
looking into NoCatSplash.  I run debian so I was looking to build a .deb
for NoCatSplash.  While trying to use the sample rc/init script in the
0.93pre2 tarball, I found that splashd does not sync the pid file.  The
result of this is that the init script is not able to kill the process.

I did some poking around and saw that the pidfile doesn't get closed until
splashd is exiting (and the next action is to unlink it).  Attached is a
one line patch that uses a call to fseek to effectly sync the file.  I
used fseek to keep with the use of FILE* as opposed to fd.

Any thoughts on this?  On one hand, I would think that the pidfile should
really just be closed after it is written.  But I can also understand that
it should stay open with the running daemon.  Either way, this patch
sync's the file and lets the init script work correctly.

Thanks,
Jeff K.
