There is some problem with CGOS that I don't understand, which
is causing it to drop with what appears to be greater and
greater frequency.   It first happened a few days ago, then
a couple of days later and I am not able to determine the
problem.   

CGOS does pretty extensive logging and it's written in tcl,
which almost always produces informative informational
messages when there is some kind of error or exception, but
it appears to be getting killed cleanly, with no errors.

Also, the screen process it runs under gets killed, which
is quite bizarre.  screen is a unix thing, a way to keep
a session alive even if you lose a connection.  

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to look
into this,  so CGOS may be off and on until I determine 
the problem and solution.  

I did change the program recently,  but I tried running
the previous version which was quite robust, and it does
the same thing.    It really looks like it's not related
to any recent changes I have made.   

My only guess is that some poorly behaved client program is 
tickling a bug, because there have been no changes
that explain this and as I mentioned the previous version
also crashes every few minutes.  

I can also imagine that someone might be experimenting
with their own CGOS client - if so please let me know so
I can solve this and I will help you.
