Subject: telnet close command causes premature exit (+FIX)
Index:	ucb/telnet.c 2.10BSD

Description:
	The "close" command causes telnet to exit rather than closing
	the connection and returning to the command loop.

Repeat-By:
	Establish a telnet connection, escape (^]) back to the
	telnet command prompt and type "close".  Note that telnet
	exits rather than permitting another connection to be opened.

Fix:

	Change the return value of bye() to 0 rather than 1.
