I have also seen this problem when calling Xenix running on a PC/AT.
Please note that it is supposed to pass on the -x switch.  This is
intended to cause debugging information to be written to the AUDIT
file on the called System.  Unfortunately, someone at Microsoft screwed
something up, and the information is written out over the wire.

This will cause unreal pain and confusion unless you happen to have a
line monitor lying around.  I have no idea whether anyone has reported
or discussed this problem with the vendor.
