:> Ah, so that's what client.c is doing.  OK, well there's no good reason

:Yeah... servers are one to many clients.  No two servers should have

:that seems to work though :).

    That's on purpose.  There is a flag, CAPS_EXCL, that can be used to
    disallow namespace overloading.  Namespace overloading is useful when
    restarting a service because it allows the new service to register
    its port before the old service is killed.  Clients then only see a
    single interruption and can immediately (successfully) reconnect.
