Message1720

Python's telnetlib hasn't worked earlier because select module has been missing. I now tried it but got following pretty weird looking error. The code I run is below the stacktrace and it's mostly copied from http://docs.python.org/lib/telnet-example.html. I was using developer build created from revision 3319 (i.e. trunk HEAD).
