If I understand you correctly, this is just a problem with the test 
suite, and not with usher itself?  So I can just proceed to use usher 
without bothering with the tests?

Of course, to be sure, I should install socat and repeat.  And if I 
still have trouble, try with mtn 0.99?

Is sending the query string as part of the server name a problem for 
usher, or just for the test suite?
