LWQ is recommending a setup where qmail-send and tcpserver are both
run under supervise, which in turn is under control of svscan, am I
remembering this right?
In that scenario, svscan recognizes the need for a second supervise to
do logging by the presence of the 't' bit in the directory permissions
on the directory for the service.

I'm not sure; is this perhaps vestigial, or to cover the possibility
that something will emit output even though it's not expected?
