Is "nc" broken in 10.0?

the 'nc' program doesn't seem to close the network connection anymore
when it reaches EOF. This worked fine in 9.x. Can somebody else
confirm this broken behavior?
Example:
On one session, listen for an incoming connection:
% nc -l 5101
On another session, open an outgoing connection, then close the input:
% nc 127.0.0.1 5101
^D
The session will not close. It doesn't seem to matter if the input is a
terminal, file, pipe, or whatever else you can think of.
