In this case, the dropped is just a function of your test.  I ddn't look at 
the code but when I did a telnet to a display server and sat for a few, say 
5 seconds, the "...hung...dropped" message occured.

First thing to check is to see if your messages are actually getting to the 
"front end" of the display server.
sign on to the bb server with an interactive session.  cd 
..../bbvar/logs.  see if logs ffrom the server of interest appear  (or any 
logs for that matter).   If there are (and I'm betting there are), look at 
some with view or another  readonly editor.  see if they are actually being 
sent from a client (status is , probably, green,  red, yellow).  if it is 
purple, it is most likly generated by the dispaly server it self.

If there are valid entries in .../bbvar/logs, the the problem is that the 
display server is not displaying them.  things to look for are that the 
hostname appears EXACTLY the same name as the log entry except the "period 
testname" of course.

That's as far as I can go without knowing more about what your're seeing.
