...especially when all 3 zephyr servers assume the appearance of
a single squished cockroach, like right now.

Fortunately, it core dumps as root, too. And we get:
(gdb) where
#0 0xef64e610 in _getorientation () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1 0xef64e834 in _set_orientation_byte () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#2 0xef6415b4 in fprintf () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#3 0x11f2c in main (argc=2, argv=0xeffff424) at main.c:336
But I'm supposed to be enjoying this here science fiction convention,
so bye now.

p.s.: it sucks that add hangs due to zephyr sub delays.
