  Sorry, sorry... I would have sworn yesterday that lsof listed codacon as 
binding to 848.  It decidedly doesn't today.  I had changed it suid root, and 
that worked.  I assumed it was a privileged port problem.
  For some reason my /usr/coda/spool directory was at mode 700, which lead to 
the cannot bind error.
  I'm going to put my tail between my legs, finish this astrophysics homework, 
and not report any more "bugs" until I've had at least six more hours of sleep.

  Sorry about my confusion,
  thanks for your assistance,

crh
