Extreme overkill, but it should work for anything: run it under a
system call tracer, following forks.  E.g., for Linux:
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec strace -f -o /dev/null ypserv ....

There should be a better way, though - have you tried closing stdin
when using fghack, or does ypserv close that too?
exec fghack ypserv ... <&-
