ok, that works, as you've suggested. at the cost of going through the
motions of queue/dequeue on a separate queue, i get less brutal

minimal load issues, i would expect.
i can live with this. thanks!
of course, would be nice if pstats direct-to-file reacted appropriately to
the HUP, but nbd... :-)
the pstats file output is a backdoor that bypasses all normal processing (to get
the logs out somewhere in the case where other things may be going wrong), as
such it would be a lot of work to add this.
Most people can just let the pstats data go into the normal log stream and be
processed with all the other logs. it's only when you have things being sent to
places that may block or are paranoid that you end up really worrying about
getting the pstats even when other things are not working.
