Marc VanH has summed up the options pretty well.  I think it
should be noted that the SLACK fix is not only tightens security
but it is a bug fix as well.  Allowing newlines, carriage returns
or tabs in gopher selectors is going outside the gopher protocol.
If going outside the protocol isn't a bug, I don't know what is.
