I am getting the following error when trying to open a telnet 
connection to a kerberized telnetd (both to athena.dialup.mit.edu or 
non-athena ASST servers):

   mufasa% telnet athena.dialup.mit.edu
   ...trying Athena's default telnet options: "-axF"
   Trying 18.7.16.69...
   Connected to DEPARTMENT-OF-ALCHEMY.MIT.EDU (18.7.16.69).
   Escape character is '^]'.
   [ Kerberos V5 accepts you as ``othomas@ATHENA.MIT.EDU'' ]
   [ Kerberos V5 accepted forwarded credentials ]
   ld.so.1: telnet: fatal: relocation error: file telnet: symbol 
setupterm: referenced symbol not found
   Killed
   mufasa% logout
   Connection to mufasa closed.
   [WRAITH-TWO:~] othomas%

Interestingly it also seems to exit the shell I ran telnet in. In the 
above example I was ssh'd into mufasa, and got logged out. If I try it 
on an X login, it closes the xterm I issued the telnet command from.

I am running /usr/athena/bin/telnet:

   mufasa% where telnet
   /usr/athena/bin/telnet
   /usr/bin/telnet
   /bin/telnet
   mufasa%

And if I try it when logged into a 9.1.x machine, it works fine. Sorry 
if this is already known, but I didn't see anything in testers or bugs.

Oliver
