Yep, this is what rcmd does (and as I recall, this is because of a bug
in an old BSD networking implementation on some server at UCB...)
There's no real excuse for kcmd continuing to do this. John Gilmore
took it out of CNS V4 back in 1994, and we've had no complaints; I
just hadn't noticed that it was still *in* V5...
