[JDEV] Possible bug with ask='subscribe'

[Robert Temple]

This is one of a number of things that has been inconsistent
from one server to the next.  First one server does the right
thing, then next server forgets to always include the ask
parameter.   I've used the 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 and now the 2.0
servers, so I cannot remember which does which.

I did report this bug in one of the servers a while back and
someone told me that they fixed it.
