I've been getting this from the start, and it is only a mild nuisance as I develop in OSX but then deploy on linux. Anyway, the bitcoind process doesn't daemonize itself on my system, OSX 10.6, not with nor without -daemon. I can background it with '&' or ctrl-z bg, and it works correctly.

Can you build? Try changing line 78 of init.cpp from: #ifdef __WXGTK__ to: #ifndef __WXMSW__ If that works, I'll change the source. It should work.
