[erlang-questions] should be a parallel tcp server, but can't connect to more than 1 client

Greetings,

When run on Solaris9/Erts5.5.5.5 your program works for at least 2 
clients. Example:

In xterm 1
ws67042> telnet localhost 6011
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
asd
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-type: text/html

<html><head></head><body>WOHOO<br>12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940414243444546474849505152535455565758596061626364656667

In xterm 2
ws67042> telnet localhost 6011
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
asd
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-type: text/html
