Back in January of 1999 much the same was happening, as the client sent
the Linux version number to the server and that number was overly long,
like "2.1.131".  Be sure to report this server defect to TSM Support:
no communication from any client - or any other entity attempting to
contact the server - should cause the server to crash.  Servers need
to be able to protect themselves on the network.
