Also, the documentation for -X should note explicitly that this option is useful only for people debugging new server extensions, and that the server should *not* be used in this mode to provide ordinary web service (or debug config file problems, or anything like that), as -X allows slow clients to lock out other clients and breaks restarting on SIGHUP. (We have already had one query from a user who thought -X might be a neat way to reduce resource consumption). rst
