(Um, that's only 5 characters.)
Hmmm. In telnet terms, IAC IP IAC DO TIMING-MARK. (See RFCs 854 and
860 for more.)
What telnet client is this? Not to imply that pnserver is not wrong to
crash, but this looks like a somewhat weird thing for a telnet client
to send - or have I missed part of the discussion? This would make
sense if the telnet client generated it in response to something like a
terminal interrupt character.
