I saw that, too, but wasn't sure if it behaves the same, because a few
lines further up if that parameter is true then it uses EXAMINE instead
of SELECT. I haven't made it yet back to the RFC's to check in detail
what the exact difference is between the two. If EXAMINE is OK for 
write operations as well, then that would be fine. But it sounds like
it's intended for following read only operations only. I'll check it
out...

Cheers,
Ryan
