Argh, yeah, I'm always botching this.

Yes that's much simpler, though it doesn't take into account the control
characters after the command string and before the newline starting the
command response.

We could just do:

     if ((commptr = strstr(buf, cmd)))
          memmove(buf, commptr, strlen(commptr)+1);
     if ((dupptr = strchr(buf, '\n'))
          memmove(buf+strlen(cmd), dupptr, strlen(dupptr)+1);

I was also trying to avoid having the command string in the 'reply', but
it was an unnecessary restriction.

Updated patch attached. It also fixes an error check from the blockstats
monitor command which wouldn't have worked in the first place, but
should be accurate now.

Thanks,
Cole
