Hi Tor (and others who see this problem)

I think I understand what the problem is with the failing test case 88 that
can be seen on recent builds on your Tru64 and IRIX builds. I will need your
help to work out a fix though.

The problem is once again (this is the same scenario we had before in the
notorious test case 91 failure bug hunt) that when doing a second request, the
client hasn't yet found out that the previous connection is on its way to get
closed. It then re-uses the connection only to find it closed right away.

We have code starting at lib/transfer.c:1949 that is supposed to detect this
situation and enforce a retry. This retry never happens on these failures,
indicating that the check is bad or that some code has ruined the values used
in the check.

I need help figuring out wht the check isn't catching this case.

(This is now known as issue 36 in TODO-RELEASE, to be fixed before release!)
