Yes. Simultaneous logins are prohibited -- instead, users get to create
multiple userids on a single account, and those individual userids can
each connect at the same time.

We rely partially on TCP to sort this out for us (i.e. on the "guess the
sequence number" game being hard to play), but also make checks during
the queue run using the same RPC service to find out whether the user
has gone away.
