I have tested the \r\n$size\r\n$data approach for
- bucktooth
- gophernicus
- gofish
- pygopherd

Requesting both menus and files.

All four servers ignore everything after the first \r\n and handle the
request correctly.

\r\n$size\r\n$data does NOT break any current implementation.

Could someone point me to gopher holes that run different servers, so I
can test some more?
