You're not reading the code closely enough, I think.
While it's even less typical in a Diablo environment for a single IP to
have both reader and (header-only) feeder access, it is possible. The
only effect of MODE READER is to disable the feeder commands (and thus
is never actually necessary).
I can't think of any case other than running both the spool and the
reader on the same host where this would ever be an issue, though.
