	This is the telnet daemon stating that it's client (telnet) existed
unexpectedly.  Perhaps because the window was closed (via the close
button) instead of via an EOF.  Sorry, that's the WHAT and one possible
WHY.  There are many possibilities.  Off the top of my head, there's
kill, X shutdown, client machine fault (power, memory, unplugged from
LAN for too long, ...).

	HTH!

P.S. Telnet isn't secure, y'know ;-)
