      The server runs when I do this:

      Has something changed?  Does anyone else have

      The goal is to have an rc script start the server as as a

      I am certain that -detach used to work.

  Any log messages containing output?

  Probably no one uses the -detach option.  I think most servers (metalforge 
among them) use one of the crossloop scripts.  These will restart the server if 
it goes down (crash, whatever).

  There does seem some bug in using it, but I have to say that it would be a 
very low priority bug (given easy workarounds), and the fix would probably be to 
remove the -detach and related code.
