nc (netcat) in 10.1 breaks after upgrade from 9.3

nc (netcat) in 10.1 behaves differently than it was before upgrade and 
breaks our scripts for monitoring services.

For example, following command works in FreeBSD 8.4 and 9.3

echo stats | nc localhost 11211

But it hangs in 10.1 at the END and never finishes.

It must be changed to:

echo stats | nc -N localhost 11211

Is it intentional?
