invalid pointer.  This causes the telnet server process to crash,
leading to a straightforward denial of service (inetd will disable the
service if telnetd is crashed repeatedly), or possibly the execution
of arbitrary code with the privileges of the telnetd process (by
default, the 'telnetd' user).
