Re: Automatic reinitialization, revisited

oops.  I obviously cut-and-pasted from the wrong part of the log.  My 
apologies.  I just generated a fresh set of errors.  The following 
conserver.cf entry:

     beta2-5-1:/dev/ttyCc8:9600p:&:

produced an endless string of errors, viz:

conserver (23228): beta2-5-1: automatic reinitialization [Tue Oct 15 
09:39:26 2002]
conserver (23228): lost carrier on beta2-5-1 (/dev/ttyCc8)! [Tue Oct 15 
09:39:29 2002]
conserver (23228): beta2-5-1: automatic reinitialization [Tue Oct 15 
09:39:29 2002]
conserver (23228): lost carrier on beta2-5-1 (/dev/ttyCc8)! [Tue Oct 15 
09:39:32 2002]

No exit() call this time. (:-)}
