Mudlet not displaying a line in time as it arrives

[Vadim Peretokin]

3.0 isn't displaying a line right as it arrives, where 2.1 did. Test case:

* New profile
* Address: mg.mud.de - Port 23
* Connect
* Notice the last few lines
* Last line asks for player name: Wie heisst Du denn ("neu" fuer neuen Spieler)?
* Enter: gast
* Abort and reconnect again (Alt + R)
* Notice the last few lines
* The line asking for player name does not show !
* Enter: gast
* The line asking for player name is shown only now, and it seems to have come before the name was entered. Next line is concatenated immerdiately
* Debug console confirms this behavior

This error is because the server isn't sending a line termination.

It may be we can mark this as invalid but it does happen in some "modes" of operation which IMO we don't handle very well. I guess this is intrinsic in that we "have to"(?) operate in buffered line by line mode but is that entirely true? I think I've already confessed that some aspects of how the telnet protocol handles echoing of characters seem to me to be more confusing than they first appear. 8-/
