Now I'm puzzled.  Setting it to "0" will prevent the connection ever
timing out, right?  In which case, if you were affected by that bug,
mr would permanently hang.  So presumably you're not affected by it.

I thought I was seeing it, but I can't reproduce the hang now.  I'll
keep investigating ...
