[ic] RPC mode not so reliable?

Hi Ron,

I have tried high mode with MaxServers 0 but I still get the 500s.  No
clues in error.log or error_log besides:

Connection reset by peer at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Interchange/Link.pm

I do use Interchange::Link so maybe that has something to do with it.
Running in RPC mode did seem to fix it.  I'd like to give it more time
to be sure, but IC is hanging and requiring a restart every 8 hours or
so under RPC mode.  I use Gentoo and all of my software is completely
up to date except for IC.
