   I generally don't believe in multi-threaded programming for mission-critical
applications; one (perhaps very rare) bug kills everything. It's also a bitch
to program. dg-ftpd has one process per ftp session, although it manages them
itself (unlike the standard ftpd, where each is started by inetd).
