I agree. My policy is: If the binaries are in /usr/local/bin, then
the sources go into usr/local/src. If the binaries are in /bin or

is that users can add information to the pages if the creator

Sounds like socket shutdown. If so, the "right" way would be to tell
diald about such packets so it ignores them.
The "quick and dirty" way would be to shut down diald for a few minutes.
