Two things:

- Can you please start inetd under strace, once under 1.7.33, once under
  the 1.7.34 test DLL and then log in as you usally do?  This requires
  some patience because under strace the whole process of logging in
  will become almost unbearably slow.  With the test DLL, you can stop
  immediately after the password prompt shows up.  I take it you're
  starting inetd from the command line of a local session, right?
  The setup is dead simple then:

    $ strace -o inetd-1.7.33.trace inetd [your inetd options]

    $ strace -o inetd-1.7.34.trace inetd [your inetd options]

  Then send the traces, please, compressed and attached.

- Can you give me a short, concise description how you set up
  inetd/rlogin so I can try to reproduce this locally?


Thanks,
Corinna
