So. I was thinking. What if somebody didn't want to use Araneida, just 
TBNL?

It turns out that with a relatively straight forward re-organisation of 
Araneida's daemon.lisp code that *simultaneous* support for:

   * browser->apache->mod_lisp->tbnl
   * browser->apache->araneida
   * browser->apache->araneida->tbnl
   * browser->araneida
   * browser->araneida->tbnl
   * browser->tbnl

are all possible if you get your port numbers right.

There's a little problem though. The browser->tbnl support isn't 
behaving properly. It serves the pages fine, but the memory use is 
growing monotonically. Something is not being released. I'm not sure 
what. Maybe the socket isn't closed? The number of processes remains 
small (actually only one in TBNL, a few in aranedia).

Any ideas? If not, I'll try to work out what is happening. I may post 
the patches with this problem still there.

I have a small test of the setup. I'll include that in the test 
directory (I still have to clean it up a bit).

I'll try to post the patches to TBNL and Araneida later today.

Cheers,
Bob
