    He wouldn't have seen the 'Segmentation fault' message over the telnet
    connection if telnetd had died...  Best case, on some systems, he may
    have seen a 'Program telnetd (pid xxx) exited with signal 11' or some
    such via syslog to all tty's root is logged in to, if he's root.  So
    in other words, he crashed telnet(1).
