I've run Stronghold 1.3.2 for a long time without problems; I'm at 2.1.7
now on the Web server. I've never seen the runaway daemon problem, though
I've heard others have.

I did see far too many sockets stuck in the FIN_WAIT2 state on 2.1.13, so
I fell back to 2.1.7 and it is doing fine. P133, 64MB, 512k cache.
