I just tried connecting locally on Win32 and simultaneously connecting
with localhost and hostname. All three connected. I ran gstat for good
measure. That needs direct file access to read the header pages before
going on to making a connection to the database.

Where does the idea come from that suggests that simultaneous
connections must all be via tcp/ip? (or whatever network protocol is in
place).
