That's not very nice!  :-)  OK, I'll try to pay attention to usage
stats from now on.

Maybe you did; I'll poke around.  I've had changes in ./debien in the
past but I think I'm pure Coda CVS in there now.  I think it's
unlikely but if I've shot myself in the foot I'll let you know.

Bingo.  We look pretty golden right now.  (I thought I ran
"/etc/init.d/coda-client garlic-and-oaken-stake" at least once, but
there was one hanging about, the pid is consistent with it being a
zombie (status not Z but nowhere near the server's pid, and they were
installed and theoretically statrted at the same time.)
