[bug-inetutils] rcp: memory exhausted

[Mark Hills]

I'm trying to use rcp, unsuccessfully. Whether using local or remote 
files, small or large, I get the following errors:

  $ rcp aaaa address@hidden:bbbb
  rcp: memory exhausted

  $ rcp aaaa bbbb
  rcp: memory exhausted

The output when running through strace is attached. Seems that the problem 
occurs before any network connection is attempted, which makes me thing 
this is a bug, and not me mis-understanding a logical error message.

I tested this with the inetutils-1.7 built from ftp.gnu.org, on both Arch 
Linux and Slackware 13.0.

Thanks
