   ytalk dies with segmentation violation upon trying to connect to a
   normal talk on another machine.

This appears to be caused by a bug in the RS/6000 termcap libraries.
I don't think we can do anything about this.

Even if that isn't the cause, two of us have looked at the code and we
haven't been able to figure out what's causing the coredump....

Sorry.
