For the time being I just want to make it thread-safe. You got it almost 
right, Thomas, putting all the variables into dynamic memory. But who 
needs a MODS if an array of pointers does the trick? ;-)

Actually, I have something more sophisticated in mind which I use 
elsewhere successfully. Dynamic arrays... This way, everyone can have as 
many sessions as wanted, without unnecessary overhead. That's also why I 
am vouching for an index type of session ID instead of the socket 
descriptor. Anyway, if I meet too many objections, then I'll drop that 
idea (well, still can be done with the socket descriptor, just not as 
efficiently).
