And what is actually sent over the cable then?

What I mean is, you see different behaviors, yes, but without any further
specific details I cannot tell if one or even any of these commands do the
right thing. The fact that the 7.9.8 exited faster is not enough proof to me
that it did the right thing. (In fact, I seriously doubt that it did.)

I would rather focus on why the 7.10.4 case "hangs", but to proceed with that
I need more details.

I'll work up something in my end too, to see what I can find out.
