Do you think we should fix it for this release?
Sometimes a session against a server on Debian will seemingly insert a character that is purely UTF in front of "Login:". This is probably related. I have made recordings with tcpdump of sessions running our telnetd on Arch Linux and FreeBSD, but I have not come around to do the analysis needed to draw any inclusion. Therefore I cannot tell whether this state is easily resolvable. Regards, Mats
