I see the same thing with the NetBSD telnet client. But here's something
interesting:

----------

fezzik$ uname -m
i386
fezzik$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
[...]
fezzik$ hexdump
[I type return, ^D]
0000000 000a                                   
0000001

----------

lotharon$ uname -m
sun3
lotharon$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
[...]
lotharon$ hexdump
[I type return, ^D]
0000000 0a00                                   
0000001

000a vs 0a00, on different endian systems. Hmmmmmmm....
