[distcc] Problems with distcc hanging on large compiles (Patch not effective)

No joy, same hang ups, same backtrace, same log entries.  Seems to get stuck going 
to the same machine as before.  I'll remove this particular host from the mix to see 
if things improve at all.

As for my "cunning ruse", I've always had an innate backlash against the X 
convention of calling the display the server and the programs the clients (even 
though the "server" provides services such as the screen, keyboard and mouse.)  Just 
somehow seems counter intuitive... Same logic for distcc (distcc = runs on server, 
distccd = runs on clients :)

Your cunning ruse of labelling the server trace as "client" was
successful :-)

Could you try this patch?
