Hi Keith,

you are 100% right! I've looked into the source and there was some need to
redefine this define. :-)

That's true. Now just for verification, I'm able to invoke `u' and `s'
several times, but `t' only once, since at the second invocation it refuse
to bind to the same socket (since it is already in use) and finish. Is
this expected behaviour?

Thanks for our help,
Karel
