>Description:
	talk(1) no longer interoperates with non-NetBSD (current?) systems,
	getting stuck repeating the "[Checking for invitation]" message over
	and over.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try using talk(1) to a non-NetBSD system, such as BSD/386 1.1, Ultrix,
	Solaris 2.3 etc...

>Fix:
	Unknown; changes to <protocols/talkd.h> looks backwards compatible to
	me, as they should not change any sizes...
