Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has seen a problem with telnetd that
connections get hung up after the second control-C sent in a session.  I
think I am going to die if it happens again.  For instance, I can start
a ping, see that it works, hit control-C.  If that was the first time
that I ever did that this session, it stops fine, no big deal.  If
however I had previously typed control-C at any previous time during the
session, this time will abruptly close the connection.

Any hints appreciated with great fanfare ;-)

Brian
