Ok, I ran strace on an ns4.05 version.  Session ends with the following:

    gettimeofday({960706023, 902534}, NULL) = 0
    gettimeofday({960706023, 902736}, NULL) = 0
    gettimeofday({960706023, 903008}, NULL) = 0
    gettimeofday({960706023, 903225}, NULL) = 0
    gettimeofday({960706023, 903438}, NULL) = 0
    gettimeofday({960706023, 903840}, NULL) = 0
    gettimeofday({960706023, 904068}, NULL) = 0
    gettimeofday({960706023, 904281}, NULL) = 0
    ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
    write(8, "B\0\7\0\200\34@\6\r\0@\6\0\0\0\0P\3\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\30"..., 56) = 56
    gettimeofday({960706023, 905488}, NULL) = 0
    ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
    --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
    getpid()                                = 5717
    kill(5717, SIGBUS)                      = 0
    --- SIGBUS (Bus error) ---
    +++ killed by SIGBUS +++

...does this provide any useful information?
