Aha!  So it wasn't my imagination.  I'm running 3.0 and have had the
same thing happen.  It's not consistent, but it does occur.  Also, in my
case Telnet will run from Desqview on a 33Mhz '386 clone but not on a
Compaq 386/20 or a 16Mhz Intel Inboard 386 in an old XT.  Desqview has
trapped some illegal instructions a couple of times on my machine, at
start-up, but that's not consistent either.  Interestingly, Telnet will
run from Windows on the Compaq.  From either Desqview or Windows,
pushing Telnet to the background eventually locks both machines up.
