I am using NTW40, B19, bash 2.01.1(2) inetd and a terminal emulator to telnet to my machine. If I monitor the handle counts on in.telnetd.exe I have noticed that it increases by 5 for every keypress. This happens on a collegues machine also, again, 5 handles per keypress. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone have a fix for this?
