Really weird, but not telnet-specific. Every networking application around
happens to fail with this host. I'm reassigning to libc6.

Btw, perhaps you can work around the bug by adding it to /etc/hosts.

It simply has no A-record:

#host -t any st1.charite.de
st1.charite.de mail is handled by 110 mailer.ukbf.fu-berlin.de.
st1.charite.de mail is handled by 100 hauptpostamt.charite.de.

It is normal that is fails.

Ooh, exactly, it's "GRAVE" bug for the submitter :-D

Please don't reassign before you don't check it. I close this bug.

Subject: You should never...

Things you should never do:

Submit bug reports on behalf of your Linux-agnostic, colleague, who
cannot even type a hostname correctly... Bug closed, the hostname was
wrong, and the telnet output "unfamiliar"for the Linux agnostic
colleague who SWORE the hostname was what it wasn't...
