I received no conclusive answer: someone told me having had no trouble
so far, someone told me that 4.1 is better (but doesn't seem perfect...),
and a third person thinks 'it is fixed in 4.1'.
I think the better I have to do is to build new rlogin, ftp and telnet;
since I have sources for these 3 programs.
