NetKit's documentation clearly indicates this problem in the
netkit-telnet-0.10/BUGS file:
- crashes in ncurses if the terminal type is undefined,
with some versions of ncurses.

Hrm...I have /usr/lib/terminfo/u/unknown. I checked the code for telnetd,
and it actually assumes "network" and not unknown, which I don't have.
Adding a link from "network" to dumb didn't solve the problem. telnetd
simply dies before outputting anything (no core, because processes started
from inetd aren't allowed to core, of course)
