Bug#370142: ion3-scripts: statusd_mpd.lua causes statusd to "hang"

[Delirium <delirium@hackish.org>]

Hi,

I wrote this script originally and just found this bugreport; sorry 
about that!

The script's been rewritten upstream by Marc Hartstein to use the 
LuaSocket library (package liblua50-socket2) instead of netcat to talk 
to mpd, and also to keep a connection to mpd open instead of opening a 
new one per update. That makes everything better behaved, so I'd 
recommend switching to it. It's under a new name, though, 
statusd_mpd-socket.lua.

The version of ion3-scripts in Debian isn't new enough to have it yet, 
so in the interim it can be found at:
http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/repos/ion-scripts-3/statusd/statusd_mpd-socket.lua

When I initially wrote this script I didn't have the reported problems, 
but on a new machine I do. Not entirely sure what the root cause is (it 
doesn't seem connection failures should actually crash the whole 
statusbar), but since it's mostly a moot point now I haven't done a lot 
of debugging.
