Thanks! Yep. Fixcr caused it for me, too (BSD/OS 4.0):
su-2.01# rcsdiff -c -r1.1 -r1.2 rc.local

Question: In the telnet interaction, why didn't the connection close?
I presume that the LF I sent after QUIT was received by tcpserver, fed
to fixcr, converted to CRLF and piped to qmail-smtpd. This should be
fine for QUIT like it is for any other SMTP command (They work okay.).
The next question is: Does using fixcr cause timeout problems for
other mail clients? I ran mail -v from the command line and there was
no delay in closing the connection. If I find any problems, I'll post.
