RE: Strange Viewer issue

["Patrick Lidstone \(Personal e-mail\)" <patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think there's a lot to be said for 1 UID per port. How else would you
be
able to tell whether or not an app had "gone away" and been
replaced by
a new app which just happens to reuse the same port. I'm pretty sure
that my
hub assumes this, and this was certainly the intention of the spec.
(even if
it is poorly expressed).
