It probably is. The MPU can provide a minimal memory protection but is
even harder to use (but i think i got shm working with it correctly)
Unfortunately i'm relying on the SDK provided by Intersil ...

... a SDK which isn't even a recent uclinux but quite old.
I'll have a look at utelnetd.

Actually i have modified dropbear so it uses vfork() instead of fork()
and i thought it should be able to handle one connection at a time
properly this way. But there are some memory allocation troubles it
seems... :-( In fact i had similar problems with matrixssl at first,
too; crashing in the realloc used by glibc.

Also i just noted that telnetd here is in fact "in.telnetd" - maybe i
can just remove stuff i don't need and use that.
