Hi,
I suppose we have a problem with the openssl library.
telnet-ssl comes from netkit-telnet, which itself does not show the
problems. telnet-ssl has the patches from the former SSLtelnet
included. I have reproduced the problem with openssl 0.9.3a and
0.9.4.
You can get the sources from nonus.debian.org:
pub/debian-non-US/dists/potato/non-US/main/source/netkit-telnet-ssl_0.12-4.diff.gz
pub/debian-non-US/dists/potato/non-US/main/source/netkit-telnet-ssl_0.12.orig.tar.gz
I really don't know where the problem might be. Perhaps someone can
help here.
Thanks
Christoph
Package: telnet-ssl
Version: 0.12-3
Package: telnetd-ssl
Version: 0.12-3
Package: libssl09
Version: 0.9.3a-1
Severity: important
My SSL telnet sessions keep pausing unexpectedly. By pausing, I mean
that the screen freezes part way through a large update and won't
unstick until further keyboard input is made.
I can reliably reproduce the problem by doing the following:
Create an SSL connection to localhost.
View a file with less or emacs. For best results, use
a file with long lines that fill the screen.
Hit ^L to redraw the screen repeatedly, Eventually, only
a partial redraw will take place and won't complete until
another key is pressed.
FWIW, this problem has existed since the switch to the openssl based
libssl09 and telnet(d)-ssl packages were introduced. The problem does
not, and still doesn't, exist in the older ssleay based libssl09 and
ssltelnet packages.
