refused query on non-query socket from...

[Alan Sparks]

I might have been the poster mentioned.  I was unable to resolve the
issue, after some effort.  Dropping back to 8.2.5 avoided the problem.
I just gave up on 8.3, actually, had no time to debug 8.3.  There was no
indication of any odd external maliciousness or other such ilk.
