Use xinetd - it allows you to set a maximum number of instances. Won't solve the problem of course, but it will prevent it from having to be reset when you get into trouble.

Why do people expect consistency with _EXPERIMENTAL_ kernels? It is akin to expecting politicians to keep election promises.

Personally I find any light brighter than a video screen hurts my eyes and burns my skin, and my back is bent from my chair. But every once in a while I venture into town to take a pretty gypsy girl up to the bell tower, and we make the church bells ring ;-)
