System name: m11-116-3
Type and version: KN02ca 7.4G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
Telnet somewhere.
What's wrong:
I mistyped the hostname, and found a bug in telnet:
<m11-116-3> ~% telnet xxx
xxx: <m11-116-3> ~%
What should have happened:
It should have given me a reasonable error mesage, instead of printing
the hostname followed by a colon and no newline.
