This looks suspicious:

bash$ ospf_monitor `perl -e 'print "A"x1066'`
task_get_proto: getprotobyname("ospf") failed, using proto 89
listening on 0.0.0.0.64527
Segmentation Fault

bash$ ls -l /usr/bin/ospf_monitor
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     other      61892 Sep 17  1997
/usr/bin/ospf_monitor

Has anyone succeded in exploiting this? It sure looks like a
bufferoverflow to me..
