Sorry about being somewhat offline-ish.

-spersistent is still experimental.

It should work and keep objects *in closed segments* across both
child and parent process restarts.

The first requirement for this to work, is that it actuall finds
the same file on the disk again when you start.

The second is that the segments must be closed, that means that
either the segment is full or a orderly shutdown of the child
process must happen.

If you start varnish, do one requst, kill -9' it, it will not
work, as the segment is not closed.
