This is the disambiguator in Bucktooth:

        ($orq, $gplus) = split($TAB, $grequest, 2);
        $orq =~ s/%3[fF]/\?/g;
        if (length($gplus) && $gplus !~ /^[\$\+\!]/) {
                # not a real gopher plus request
                $orq = $grequest;
                undef $gplus;
        }
        if ($gplus eq '$') { # this is for UMN gopher
                $j = <<"EOF";

                $j =~ s/\n/\r\n/sg;
                print STDOUT $j;
                &log("\"$orq\" <$gplus> [300 \"\" forced g+ redirect]");
                exit;
        }

$grequest is a line read from stdin. It's a pretty reliable hack and has been
in Bucktooth since the very beginning.
