The nss client/server does handle this case, it just doesn't handle it well. It
does copy the tapset directory over, but mangles the command line. If I'm
reading the "client" directory correctly, with --use-server the stap command
line that goes over to the server ends up looking like:

# stap tapset/home/dsmith/tapset -I tapset -v -e 'probe oneshot { foo() }'

which is clearly wrong.

The http client/server shares code/ideas with the nss client/server, and I'm
sure the same problem exists in the http client/server. I was wondering how the
nss client/server handled this when I found the problem.
