[New-bugs-announce] [issue5188] telnetlib process_rawq buffer handling is confused

[David Christian]

New submission from David Christian <dbc at rpath.com>:

in telnetlib's process_rawq, rawq_getchar() returns a bytes object of
length 1.

However, that buffer is then compared directly against the variable IAC,
which is the integer 255.  This is always false, as bytes([255]) != 255.

Checked svn and looks like this issue still exists as of 2/8/2009.
