The SVDRP implementation is currently not able to take more than
one connection at a time. The problem is that, for instance, one
connection might fetch a list of timers and modify one timer. Before
actually sending back the modified timer, a second connection might
already have done a modification of its own, so the numbering of the
timers might have changed.

In general I'd suggest to keep an SVDRP connection only active as long
as it takes to perform the current task, and then close it again.
