For reference, the thing which exposed the circumstance where this was
actually remotely likely to come up was added in f1d4744, back in 2014,
and somehow the actual change isn't mentioned in ChangeLog.txt, but in
practice it's been there since 1.6.1. But it would only (probably) show
up if you ran some commands with "pseudo <cmd>" *while* running other
things using a pseudo server normally.
