 I've been debugging a little bit more. Something sometimes seems to be 
 breaking down in the parsing of client commands.
 
 First, I try to CHDB to "helpdesk" by using the three-argument version of 
 CHDB (chdb databasename username password):
 
 200 hurre.clustra.com GNATS server 4.0-alpha ready.
 chdb helpdesk yngves xxxxxx
 210-Now accessing GNATS database 'yngves'
 210 User access level set to 'edit'
 
 gnatsd actually tries to change database to the supplied username. There is 
 no database named "yngves", so this should not be possible at all.
 
 But this is not the whole story. On the theory that gnatsd uses the wrong 
 argument (the second instead of the first one) when changing database, I 
 tried the following:
 
 200 hurre.clustra.com GNATS server 4.0-alpha ready.
 chdb helpdesk helpdesk helpdesk
 210-Now accessing GNATS database ''
 210 User access level set to 'edit'
 
 Thus, I still have no good theory to give you.
