[Dxspider-support] Inheritance between sessions

[Dirk Koopman]

I have to yet to look at this in detail, but I suspect I know what may 
be going on.

There *is* client software out there which, together with rubbishy 
internet connections / isps, means that users find themselves with 
"half-open" TCP connections. Or at least, so it seems. There is 
provision in the code for dealing with this that allows multiple 
connections which automagically adds ssids to the base and then treats 
all these "connections" (of which only one is actually bidirectionally 
active) as one user - rather than N different ones. There is a flag 
($main::allowmultiple) which defaults to 0 that controls this. In the 
default setting this *should* cause "normal" separation with user-ssid 
calls being treated as distinct callsigns. But the code is a bit tricky 
and there may be an interaction with registration that I am not aware of.

If there is something awry, that I can reproduce here, then this where I 
need to look.
