As an experiment I did the following:

        'kill' (supposed to die properly, but forgets downloads anyway)

        start mldonkey using './mldonkey > mldonkey.log &'

        'vd' (shows no files being downloaded)

from here, mldonkey will connect up to 'max_connected_servers'. 
disconnecting servers with 'x' and then connecting to new ones with 'c' 
will work as well. Everything is peachy at this point.

Unfortunately once I do 'recover_temp' and downloads start, mldonkey 
totally loses its ability to connect to any new servers.

I issue 'kill' from mldonkey command line...it should die properly, right?

mldonkey averages 100+ connections when downloads are in full swing, but 
even with 40 connections open, once I issue 'recover_temp'  server 
connections become impossible. Thus I'm not so sure it has anything to do 
with per-process connection limits (?)

Should I try tweaking options? I'm running whatever default options are, 
except for max_connected_servers (5), and server_connection_timeout (30).
