If I'm not mistaken, on the server log, even under lguest the string is
still "Plan9/hget" so this seems to rule this out. And if the
performance (minus emulation/switching overhead) is better using,
actually, Linux TCP/IP implementation for the real connection, it will
show that this is the Plan9 implementation that has, under some
circumstances (perhaps with the size of the packets sent by some server)
an unfelicity.
