2.1.11 cfexecd runs update.conf immediately, ignoring SplayTime |

I don't know whether this came in at 2.1.11 - I haven't upgraded since
2.1.8, and it wasn't there then - but in investigating 2.1.11 I notice
that when cfexecd is started in daemon mode, when a run is scheduled in
daemon mode, and when cron fires up cfexecd in non-daemon mode, cfagent
immediately contacts the server (if update.conf is configured to do
that) irrespective of any SplayTime settings in update.conf.
It's only after
/var/cfengine/bin/cfagent -Q
smtpserver,sysadm,fqhost,ipaddress,EmailMaxLines,EmailFrom,EmailTo -D
from_cfexecd
has been run that a normal (no arguments) cfagent run goes to sleep,
obeying SplayTime.
This is not good news for servers if all clients spring into action at
the same time.
An oversight, surely.
