Thank you!

No,  didn't know about that.  A colleague's been testing with the
synchronizer removed, at about 15 messages per second, with no
overwriting so far, which is what I'd expected on Linux initially.
The next restart will pick up the syswrite option above.

Which reminds me, I couldn't get init_and_watch($conf_file, 'HUP') to
work with threads, which is not surprising, given that perl threads
and signals don't mix very well.
