This is a totally normal backtrace for "waiting for more input from
the client". Are you sure that your perl script is working correctly?

You are absolutely right, the script is to blame. Sorry. However, there is one thing that's bothering me: when the max number of children has been reached, attempts to connect lead to this:

[root@lvr1 root]# telnet cyrus 143
Trying 134.95.19.46...
Connected to cyrus.
Escape character is '^]'.

Wouldn't it be possible (and better) to refuse further connections instead of having to wait for them to time out? Maybe I haven't thought this through properly, but it seems to me as if that were cleaner.

Thanks, Sebastian
