This is next to impossible now.  About all we can conclude is that if we
still have an open socket, the server must be ok with that.  Of course,
the protocol could get wildly out of sync, but i dont think there's much
else we can do (if the server can't even delineate responses with the
right number of eol's, then its too seriously fubar'd anyway).

Nod.  Stupid servers.
