Bug Description

Binary package hint: netcat-traditional

Most of the services from Internet (HTTP, POP3, SMTP, etc..) are using text based protocol with CRLF line-ending, but the original nc doesn't support it.
I saw my patch is applied for Ubuntu's netcat-openbsd package, but not for the netcat-traditional. I worked out the patch for the tradtional one.
