As per the conversation that the best thing to do is to try and box
this problem in with much needed upgrades to upgrade logic, I've also
been working on, just started really, coding up a back-off algorythm
for pm.  The abstract is to add the ability to stop trying to respawn a
daemon that is respawning too quickly, the implication being that there
is something wrong with that daemon, and to issue some kind of alert
instead.
