Description:
The telnet program (both 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD versions) dumps
core when run on machines that do not allow referencing a NULL
pointer.
Repeat-By:
Run the "telnet" program, and type a space followed by return.
Or type "conn" followed by two returns. If you are on a machine
that does not allow refencing NULL pointers, then you get a core
dump crash.
sun% telnet
telnet> [ typed space followed by return ]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
sun% telnet
telnet> open
(to) [ typed return ]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
sun%
