By default, tmda-ofmipd expects to open the network port itself, and
listen for new connections, and handle them.

If instead, you're using tcpserver/stunnel/xinetd/... to do this, you
need to put tmda-ofmipd into "one-session" mode.

To run in one-session mode, simply pass the "-1" (that's dash one)
command-line option.
