I found out why telnet was crashing when you tried to telnet into a
Linux box running Redhat-Athena 4.0 --- /bin/login (really
/bin/athena/login) was dying.

I fixed the problem and made a new ttylogin package.  You should
upgrade ASAP.  As root:
	attach linux
	cd /mit/linux/packages/RedHat-Athena
	rpm -Uvh ttylogin-1.0-12.i386.rpm
