What were you trying to do?

telnet to a more standard 8.1 machine to see if a bug was a local
problem or not.

What went wrong?

  ; telnet bart-savagewood
  ...including Athena's default telnet options: "-ax"
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  my hostname appears to be lowercase `infocalypse', both by
  `hostname' and /etc/athena/rc.conf.  The core dump is in
  ~yandros/tmp/core.telnet.solaris.  Please tell me when I can remove
  it.

  I get similar results from `/usr/athena/bin/telnet
  {charon,opus,bloom-picayune}', but not if I try to connect to localhost.

Anything else you'd like to add?

  Yeah.  hacking /etc/athena/version so that the version string reported
  is `Update' is annoying.  the last 5 lines of /etc/athena/version are
  included here for your edification:
