Same with the geomyidae gopherd; I just assumed it was a bug in
the UMN gopher client. Might be worth keeping a work-around since
gopher(1) seems to still linger in various package repositories.
According to the source of gopher(1) it is assuming Gopher+, if no path
is given. Only if a path is given, then the flag for Gopher+ isn’t set.
The gopher plus flag will always first read the Gopher+ header. If that
cannot be received it aborts.
Either gopher(1) is patched to first assume plain gopher or all gopher
servers move to Gopher+.
