Correction, new clients with old servers will generally see a 0 SBC
count; they're no longer reading a value beyond the 32 byte XEvent, and
old servers send the high 32 bits of the SBC count at the end. So
they'll get 0 until the SBC exceeds 32 bits on the server side (which
will take a long time).
