Package: kerberos4kth-clients
Version: 1.2.2-11.2
Severity: normal

I can no longer use krxtelnet, and the reason seems to be that ktelnet
fails to send environment variables properly.  If I enable options logging, it 
prints this:

  SENT WILL NEW-ENVIRON
  ...
  RCVD DO NEW-ENVIRON
  ..
  RCVD IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON SEND
  SENT IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON IS USERVAR "XAUTHORITY" VAR "DISPLAY" VAR "USER"

The output of the telnet command "environ list" looks like this
(uninteresting parts excluded):

  ktelnet> environ list
  * XAUTHORITY           /tmp/AhQCJq0
  * DISPLAY              fidgit:39
  * USER                 david

When I try the same thing from another host, with a non-debian
installation, I see this:

  SENT IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON IS VAR "DISPLAY" VALUE "tjatte:47" VAR "PRINTER" 
VALUE "strindberg" VAR "USER" VALUE "david"

As you can see, the debian client doesn't print any VALUEs, and
consequently, the environment variables are not set on the remote
host.

This used to work, but stopped working after some upgrade, probably
some time during the spring.  But I didn't track down the problem
until now.
