Fixed:

===============================

It was a guaranteed segfault on any message from the background process.  
The bug was in the code since January 1999 - for more than 3 years, and
nobody has reported it, as far as I remember.  Well, I can imagine that
the users copying from ftp would always use a separate directory.

A user of the tree has been found, so the remaining question is whether 
anybody uses mcserv.
