I just did, and I didn't add -D, but I did change "disabled = yes" to
"no" in the telnet xinetd config. And it just worked.
Thanks for testing.
That is what I did too.... And it fails as described. I'm stumped.
SELinux getting in the way in one of the two cases?
No, I eliminated that early on.... Another manifestation of the problem is

Erm, you said it's a very old machine. I get the impression it is using
telnet to get to the Linux machine. What you're seeing looks for all the
world like what people used to see on RS232 terminals when flow control
was disabled. Is flow control disabled somewhere in your network path
between the machines? If it is a very slow machine may get hit with data
faster than it can parse it.
The justification for needing a working telnet server is that the client side is old.
The problem was discovered and occurs on F18 itself with "telnet localhost".
Oh really! You mean Alan Cox was right about F18? Hm....
