And INN 2.3-current. I can't think of any reasonable explanation for this. The assertion is in the dynamic linker. But it already did its job long ago, before the first message ("Trying x.x.x.x...") was printed. I can only guess that telnet is making a random jump which happens to land in the middle of the dynamic linker code. Maybe it's a kernel bug. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
