Bug#2263: rsh fails to return all output

[Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk>]

Package: netstd
Version: 1.25-1

rshd closes the socket in a way that means that pending output gets
lost.  This effect is only noticeable when the network is being slow.
It's possible that this is a kernel bug.

Ian.
