VAX VMS TCP/IP bug? w/ Telnet

Well, someone has not only reported it on comp.os.vms but figured out what
it is, the VMS telnet server in TCPIP 5.0A gets into an infinite loop
trying to negotiate ECHO which the client. It sends WILL_ECHO and the
client sends DONT_ECHO again and again and again. Sigh. This has cost me
enough time that I'm probably going to be demonstrating VMS system installs
at the VCF :-). I hope to have one MicroVAX II/GPX in a BA123, one VAX
4000/200 in a BA430, and one VAXServer 3400 (BA213) for sale. Should be
interesting...
