   I heard a rumor that there were problems with either ktelnet or
   ktelnetd on Linux because they expected bsd signal() semantics.  So I
   changed the code in /afs/sipb/project/sipb-athena to use sigaction()
   and reinstalled on Keesh.  If anyone who actually had this problem
   would like to verify whether the problem still occurs, that would be
   nice.  If the problem is actually fixed, we should make a new package
   of whichever package contains ktelnet.

I'm also interested in hearing about this problem, and whether the POSIX
signal handling fixes it.

I do notice that if you telnet from a linux (or SGI) box to a dialup,
run emacs, and resize the window several times, it stops keeping up with
the changes.  This might be a problem catching SIGWINCH.
