[gopher] UMN gopher client weird behavior

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Jon Nelson (the guy behing pygopherd) has been asking me why UMN
gopher is sending weird things to his server.  I did some checking and
it looked to me that the TAB $ was a gopher+ism -- dunno why it would
try to send that as the first thing ever, before it knows it's
speaking to a gopher+ server.  Is this a bug?  Does anyone else do it?

Next, he said he had observed it sending *spaces* and not a tab, or
even a tab with no $.  Is this a bug?  It seems to me that it is.
