I think it's absolutely essential.  After a successful scanning test,
I upgraded 100-odd machines with sophie under daemontools to 3.04 on 1st
September, and since then we've been having increasing problems due to
memory over-commitment.

I checked round all the machines today, and some of them had have 30,
40, or 80 sophie processes owned by 'init' - where I have a configured
max of 20 children, and most machines should only have 1 or 2 at a time
thanks to the very useful idle timeout!

I'm trying the patch too, should have results in a couple of days.
But the symptoms are the same.
