'case this 'fixes' the bug which doesn't even exist. %-) it's like
'fixing' html/css for IE -- it then works but it then badly wrong and
non-standard.

so i think this can be 'fixed' in local user's version, but shouldn't
be fixed in LuaSocket distribution. maybe dox should mention that there
are some broken servers which might not work due to this problem,
nothing more. %-) the more times we 'fix' such bugs on the wrong side,
the more authors will ignore specs, IMO. "why i should obey the specs if
they just can 'fix' their clients?"
