I'm resurrecting this rather old thread, mostly for informational
purposes. Back in July, I was upgrading to 1.5.1, and had a
problem which looked something like this:

Recently (over the weekend), I upgraded both my home firewall and
my workstation at work to 1.5.2. At work I used ssh and at home
pserver. Work worked fine, and home still had the above
problem. So, my questions are 1) is anyone actually using
pserver?; 2) should I file a PR on this, or just forget about it?

Thanks,
