This shouldn't be a problem with 1.0.1 - it was caused by a change (to CVS
Head) that I made to fix the problem of messages sneaking through sb_server.
It would only have effected those running from CVS.  1.0.1 splits the
response on the first newline, which ought to work whatever data is after
the +OK.
