Our emacs is:

"GNU Emacs 18.55.4 of Thu Aug 31 1989 on sctc-fs1 (berkeley-unix)"

I altered telnet.el by changing telnet-filter line (insert string) to 

      (insert (mapconcat (function
			    (lambda (x)
			          (format "%c" (if (> x 127)
						        (- x 128)
						    x)))) string ""))

to mask off the high bit some infernal network box was setting for
parity or something.  While testing it, I got the following in the
minibuffer (this is hand-copied, so spelling may vary a bit):

#<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o161)>  Save your ...

and a request to report the error, so that's what I'm doing.  It
happened when I entered a string in the telnet buffer, so it was
probably executing telnet-filter to process some input from the telnet
process.  If it occurs again I'll try to collect more useful
information for you.
