  Oh well, it doesn't matter.  The old sparky has got so much RAM I can=20
leave pygopherd run all the time whithout trouble.

  Just as I thought!  :^)

  Well, this was wrong anyway, when a server is run from xinetd it =
should not=20
detach/fork (are the two terms interchangeable?) on its own, since =
xinetd=20
takes  care of that (I realized this some time ago when I wanted Qpopper =
to=20
run from xinetd and it failed, IIRC).  I either remebered wrong what I =
did, or
I wrote the wrong thing or I messed up xinetds' configuration.

  So, if I put "detach =3D no" then the server is busy and does not =

new connections until the current one ends (that is, until the current =

transfer completes)?

  I want to be mentioned in the next Cahngelog!  :-D
