| What's wrong:
| 	  After each prompt after running a real command, a 'p' is
| 	  inserted (as if I had typed it).  This doesn't happen if
| 	  linemode is turned off.
| 
| What should have happened:
| 	  Linemode should be indistinguishable (except for latency)
| 	  from character mode.

The important thing (IMHO) to point out was that the telnet from the
krb5 locker does not have this problem, but negotiates linemode
successfully.

I think this problem is potentially moresubtle than the bug report
suggests, since it doesn't happen with me using /usr/athena/bin/telnet
on a Sun. Yonah was using /usr/athena/bin/telnet on an SGI.
