Ah, you mean the SIGUSR2 statistics. I thought you ment the file generated 
by the --status option introduced with 2.0-betaXX, and didn't realize 
that the SIGUSR2 statistics was changed to have this format too in 2.0.

The stat format used by 1.6 was fine with 1.6 as it only supported ONE 
client, but with 2.0 that supports multiple clients I think the new format 
is much better.

How do you propose the output should be formatted using the "old" style to 
diffrentiate multiple clients?

An option that makes 2.0 output 1.6-style statistics on SIGUSR2 might be 
useful though, for those who already have scripts written around this 
format.
