>Description:

The telnet options added to src/contrib/telnet/arpa/telnet.h in rev
1.9 (==RELENG_5_2_0_RELEASE==HEAD) were discontinuous, but names
were added to telopts[] without the corresponding gaps. This can cause
TELOPT to return pointers outside of telopts[] even though TELOPT_OK
returns 'true'.



>How-To-Repeat:

#include <stdio.h>
#define TELOPTS
#include <arpa/telnet.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[]) {
  unsigned int opt;

  opt=TELOPT_KERMIT;
  if (TELOPT_OK(opt)) 
    printf("Option name:%s\n",TELOPT(opt));
  else
    printf("Unknown option %d\n",opt);
  return 0;
}

depending on your luck, this either tells you the option is "(null)" or segfaults.
