Performing quick restarts (especially on loaded servers) is not
possible on some operating systems (Linux, for instance) without my
SO_REUSEADDR patch (still not committed to CVS by the maintainers for
some unknown reason).  You can grab it out of the list archive.

CollabNet has one which we use internally, but it's a bit of a mess
(specifically, the installation section).  If you're able to clean it
up, would you mind posting your improvments?

Yes.

We run spread via DJB's supervise; if the daemon process crashes,
supervise will re-start it.
