Well, that's a fair point. I withdraw my previous statement. Instead,
I wish to argue that:
1. This problem can definitely be fixed in any given driver without
changing the behavior of the server.
2. It would be better to fix the driver than the server because this
behavior is very old and there are probably many applications (and
perhaps some drivers) that rely on it, and changing the server would
break them.
