I'm almost sure that the problems related to finger from current
machines is caused by the use of T/TCP.  Apparently some (buggy or
at least non-conformant) TCP stacks have problems with T/TCP.

The short term solution is: `sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0'.  On
the other hand, it would be very useful if you could send me a
tcpdump trace of the failing conversation when using T/TCP and if
you know the type of the system you're connecting to.
