Summary:                    telnetd quits on SIGPIPE
Description: 
The line

w = write(ts->sockfd, ts->buf2 + ts->wridx2, maxlen);

in telnetd.c may cause a SIGPIPE. The default handler for
SIGPIPE is to terminate => telnetd quits. This is wrong,
at least if you are using telnetd in stand alone mode.

Reproducing this is a bit tricky (timing/load dependant?),
but my scripts can reproduce it after connecting 200-300 times.

A quick fix is to run signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);, but perhaps there
is a better way to handle this.
