Two changes between 1.5.9 and 1.5.10 that Stan left out:

    Re-wrote TIMEOUT code in serve() to use select() instead of
    alarm(). This means that you can use both TIMEOUT and ALONE.

    Modified enqueue() and spawn() to close the syslog fd with
    closelog() so that syslog() can know to reopen the syslog port.
    Now, syslog's from the child work.

It's probably more important that people know about these changes than
that I get credit for making them...
