That's an area where Creator (..., Leopard) differed from NB. NB always 
shutdown down the servers it starts. We for Creator thought we should keep 
them running.

Now we have the NB behavior since we are NB.

So it's not a bug, it's a feature;-) Do I agree??

Somebody should probably decide what to do. 
Comment 2 Libor Kotouc 2007-02-19 09:25:00 UTC
Interesting idea, isn't it, Stepan? What about to ask the user whether to shut
down the server or not?
