After launching the server the client waits for it to finish initializing. This is done by waiting for a line of output from the server's STDOUT. Currently, the client assumes that the first line of output coming from the server indicates that it's done initializing. With Python 2.4 this used to be true, but Python 2.6 prints deprecation warnings for certain standard modules as soon as they are imported. This makes the client think the server is ready when in fact it isn't. This patch fixes the problem by waiting for a certain unique output line from the server instead of just waiting for the first line.
