Well, that would explain it. Whoever is running that web site wants to try
using their own ocde occasionally :-) -- they have completely removed all
indentation from the code!

Indeed there is. If you've downloaded Xitami and installed it in <XitamiDir>
then you will also have a <XitamiDir>/addons/lrwp directory, and the code is
there, correctly indented.

now uses four-space indentation. While you can mix tabs and spaces (the
interpreter treats tabs as taking the spacing to the next multiple of 8)
this is NOT recommended.

Hope you can now run LRWP processes successfully. Don't forget that
modification to the accept() call!
