+PH/04 There are two new options that control the retrying done by the daemon

+      the socket is already in use). The default values reproduce what were
+      built-in constants previously: daemon_startup_retries defines the number
+      of retries after the first failure (default 9); daemon_startup_sleep
+      defines the length of time to wait between retries (default 30s).
