Hah! And a few minutes later, the situation has now been resolved as
of commit 1358. The problem was that the default opensrf.xml.example
file had the opensrf.settings property "stateless" set to "0" when, in
fact, it needs to be "1".

So the problem existed before the move to autotools; now it has been
resolved. I should also point out that the Perl Demo::Math and
Demo::MathDB services appear to be broken (perhaps since the move to
JSON::XS); switching to the C versions of these services enables
math_bench in srfsh to work as expected.

I shall now go and enjoy Canada Day :)
