I downloaded it form
sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/dslip203.tgz, and it does
not seem to be vulnerable:
emsi:~/hack/dslip/slip/bin> ./allocslip b_s `perl -e ' printf "A" x 300'`
GO!

Or even:
emsi:~/hack/dslip/slip/bin> ./allocslip b_s `perl -e ' printf "A" x 6000'`
GO!

It does NOT segfault (my system is Slackware 3.4 with 2.0.34 Kernel).
So it was fixed or is not vulnerable at all (I tested it on both -
precompiled and compiled myself).
