On Red Hat Linux 5.0, which uses glibc and a newer netkit, if I follow the above procedure and telnet to either localhost, a Solaris box, or a 4.2 box, it just hangs when I telnet with the long $DISPLAY, and I tire of waiting and kill the telnet client. If I telnet from a RHL 4.2 box to anything, it does the segfault. This seems to indicate that there is a buffer overflow in old(er) versions of the telnet client.
