cyradm login loops

[Robert Spellman]

Occasionally, I see something mentioned about tracing a particular cyrus 
process to determine what's going on (or wrong, as the case may be).  
How is this done?  I'm not getting very far at resolving my particular 
problem, so I'd like to know what the proxyd process thinks it's doing 
each time it spawns a new connection to itself.
