   I would like to report two bugs in Linux, both involving tcp/ip.
I will be using tcp/ip extensively, under stress conditions, so I
will most likely find bugs. I do not know of whom to send bug reports
/fixes to, so I am posting here. Please, if you know of whom to send
these reports too, enlighten me.. <grin>

  Bug one is ion telnet. I am not sure what happens, but the telnet
program (and i think telnetd) locks up. This is frusterating, especially
in talks, because I can see the keystrokes being sent to me, but I can
not respond. I think that this is important, because when I try
to have the telnet program 'send ayt' nothing comes back. I am using
the built-in SMT Elite 16 netowkr driver and the SLS .99.1 kernal.

  The other bug is in my mud. I just brought it up and noticed some
sort of memory leak in it. It seemed to grow about 5-15K every 20 sec
or so. I had a player log off, and it freed up about 50K, but abosrbed
it all back afterwards. the mud continuied to absorb memory, even
when no-one was on. I have 4 megs real, and 4 megs swap.

  I am willing and able to try fixes and such. I like to be on the
bleeding edge <grin>.

 Thanks to Linus, Peter, and everyone else whom I did not mention!
LINUX IS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO THE i386 SINCE THE 387!
