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 at 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
