I think that 2) is what we want -- permitting nesting of ignore/attend
calls with the client blocked until all of the reasons for suspending
the client are cleared.

Can anyone think of a reason to want the other behaviour in
non-cooperating portions of the server?

This looks good to me. I assume the client is allocated with calloc so
that the count starts out at zero?
