Okay folks - here's a weird one:
Using NCSA telnet 2.7b4 on a Mac, trying to telnet to any BSDI or Linux
machine, if you type a control-c you can reliably crash the Mac. Total
lockup, nothing to do but reboot.
This only happens with BSDI or Linux machines. It won't happen with Irix,
SunOS, or Solaris.
I think I can safely assume the bug is on the Mac end of things... any
suggestions on what to do?
Thanks!
David
