Odd; NCSA Telnet's been dying quite often on me recently on my Mac SE.
I have 2.5M of memory, and versions 2.3 through 2.3.4 will
spontaneously die under System 6.0.7 or 7.0b1 (no other INITs loaded).
I'll be sitting there typing away normally, or just reading output on
the screen and not touching anything, and... suddenly, Telnet
vanishes, as if it had never been running.  If I try to open it again
before I reboot, my system hangs.

It is just me, or has anyone else had this problem?
