I was expecting a post from Brecht on this subject; he found the problem
after you had logged off from IRC yesterday.

Yes, the root cause is that you don't "do" anything with your connection,
this is a known problem that I've run into myself but my brain was lagging
so I didn't recognize it in your code. Brecht did.

Note that to make it work, you don't have to keep doing things, I think
it is enough that you send _one_ actual command after accepting the conn-
ection for it to start working. Feels very much like a "being caught in
the wrong state" bug to me.

I know I have reported this issue to Eskil previously, but am not sure
what his response was then. Eskil?
