Indeed. Netcat and galeon appear to do the right thing too, while telnet, lynx and links all suffer from a delay. (I first noticed the problem using lynx). My guess at the moment is that the combination of a slow machine and a slow nameserver is exposing an odd bug in these programs. Although I would be surprised if this were the case since telnet and lynx have such a long pedigree...
And you're sure these aren't socks clients?
