Although I don't believe that your claim is unlikely, it would have been
nice to post a link to the original discovery to back it up.  Everyone
that I have showed this to, personally, has not seen it before.  And,
after some google searching, I could not locate anyone else either that
talked about this -- the closest thing was an old Microsoft telnet
advisory that didn't mention this behavior specifically.

With that said, I would like to ask anyone who has info about the
original discovery to please post it here (Nick didn't respond to my
email).  I am interested to know more about it, and maybe the original
discoverer found other things as well...thanks
