Glenn,

There were a number of problems that surfaced with the named device PTF. 
Sometimes the telnet servers would get into a loop and use a major amount of 
CPU resource. It acted like a memory leak. We had no trouble for a month or 
better while we tested things at a limited scale, but as soon as we configured 
everyone in the company to use telnet, we started having trouble. At the peak 
of the troubles, the servers would run for about 2.5-3 days before misbehaving. 
After an IPL they behaved themselves again for a while. Restarting the servers 
had no impact. AFAIK, this been fixed. At least our system has been stable for 
about 3 weeks now.
