NetBSD exhibits this behavior as well when a broken telnet client connects to the newer telnetd. The solution in NetBSD's case to to pass the -k flag to telnetd in /etc/inetd.conf. You might want to give this a try on your Linux machine. Of course, not knowing which of the N Linux user-lands you're using, this is only a wild guess on my part. Your mileage may vary. -- Jason R.
