"mserver -s" is there for historical reasons and for debugging. I started originally 
with a single process server back in the 90's, and only afterwards developed the multi 
process scheme. The single process server now only works for one connection and then 
crashes, as you described. But it can be used for debugging any server connection, 
since you don't have to follow the creation of a subprocess with your debugger, and 
therefore it's much easier. But after the first connection has been closed, you have 
to restart that single server process. Maybe one could add some warning about that, or 
even fix it, but it's nowhere used in production mode.
