What I am attempting to do is to have multiple (two) cscope-s running
each talking to a different server. The real issue being that I needed
emacs windows tied to a specific invocation of cscope. It seemed the
best way to do that was to have multiple servers running since "last
active emacs window" is inadequate. Anyway, for me, I retired 6 months
after posting this and doubt I'll ever want to run multiple cscopes in
parallel ever again. :)
