Interesting to note that the behaviour of nsrlcpd has changed at 7.4.3.
It now locks the jukebox port, meaning that you cannot see the robotics
with inquire, or with any of the low level commands when nsrlcpd is
running. If you need to run sjirdtag or similar you would need to
disable the library first, and remember to re-enable it afterwards.

I guess a lot of people's scripts are going to break...
