>Description:
On some systems it would be beneficial to run multiple instances of moused
simultaneously. Assume there are multiple mouse like devices one wishes to
use alternating between them on the fly.
The current implementation does not allow this.

>How-To-Repeat:
Make sure you are running one instance of moused already and then launch e.g.

moused -r medium-high -t intellimouse -p /dev/cuad0

This will fail with a complaint like...

moused: moused already running, pid: 1001


>Fix:
Change moused to allow multiple simultaneous instances to run.
