[Ncat] There is a backwards-incompatible change in the way that
listen mode works. The new default behavior is to accept only one connection, and quit when the connection ends. This was necessary to prevent data loss in some situations; some programs require Ncat to send an EOF before they flush their internal buffers and finish processing the last bit of data. See http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q2/0528.html for more information. Use the new -k or --keep-open option to get the old behavior, in which Ncat will accept multiple simultaneous connection, combine all their input, and accept more connections after a disconnection.
