This is one of the reasons I disagree so strongly with changing
the DEFAULT to send no user agent header. Besides, that one really
does make one suspicious, doesn't it? I expect the problem being
only on a selected handfull of servers that actually use the module,
plus most distributions would allow to file bugs against it and have
it patched even if upstream authors don't care.
