Which debian? testing??
I had a similar problem with testing, it was due to a buggy
telnetlogin program segfaulting:
run /usr/lib/telnetlogin and see if it segfaults.. then you'll know.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=telnetd
It is listed as resolved, but I don't think the fixed package has
made it into the apt distribution system yet, as I had to upgrade
it by hand (the horror! :) ).
HTH,
Bill
