I have been using it for www.fefe.de for almost a year now, so it should
be quite stable.  However, I'm not using CGI on my web site.  I
recomment you try if the CGI mode works for you, and if it doesn't,
stick with fnord (and send me a bug report!).

No, but that should not make any noticeable difference, as long as
tcpsvd sets the UCSPI environment variables.

I'm quite happy with tcpserver so far, didn't feel the need to look for
alternatives.
