That sounds familiar: I was interrupting things, like new instances of
telnet which had hung waiting for packets to come back.  (This is over
ppp, so I could see from the LEDs that there weren't any.)

That's plausible, I agree.  Once things got confused, starting a new
telnet would induce the error message, and a name lookup is pretty much
the first thing it does.

Pretty much just trying to log in again.
