The key change in this patch is a call to fork() (line 288) to create a new process to handle each connection. The do/while continues on the parent (line 291) immediately listens for new connections (without ever closing the listen socket) while the child process inherits the accepted socket (children_inherit_accept_socket == true), handling it with GDBRemoteCommunicationPlatform and then terminates.

The parent process can then accept as many new connections as it wants forking off a new child process to handle each one.
