That's not my bailiwick - I'm just explaining why I have historically rejected 
these patches.   In general, many sysadmins would not be aware that running 
an executable introduces significant latency or possibly hangs the server.   
Since I was supporting the server on my own, I didn't want the support load 
of dealing with their plaintive cries.   However, that's now David Hankins' 
problem, so he gets to say whether or not he's going to accept this 
patch.   :')
