Oh, that's interesting. We used to have a loop in there for cases where
you we couldn't use -w, like for non-default connection settings, but I
thought -w still worked for defaults, even back to 8.4.
It is possible we removed something that we should no one needed anymore
but that 8.4 needs, but I am unclear what that would be.
