OK, here comes a followup to the last question!  I am using wait() now to
reap the defunct children, and it seems to work.  There is a small problem,
though...  when I use telnet to connect to the server, and the socket is
closed, telnet doesn't give me the "Connection closed by foreign host."
message.  IT just...  HANGS.  How do I close off the connection so that
telnet will recognize it has been shut down, and exit?
