Are you sure you didn't just crash the client? Which binary did gdb say the core file came from? telnet or telnetd?
He wouldn't have seen the 'Segmentation fault' message over the telnet connection if telnetd had died... Best case, on some systems, he may have seen a 'Program telnetd (pid xxx) exited with signal 11' or some such via syslog to all tty's root is logged in to, if he's root. So in other words, he crashed telnet(1).
