The cause was to be found entirely within GNU Inetutils.
It was mended in commit 7129ba40. It boiled down to the
fact that the original author of the libshishi support in
"src/rshd.c", "src/rlogind.c", and "libinetutils/shishi.c"
passed integer types "int outlen" where "size_t outlen"
was in use by libshishi. On 64-bit systems these are not
interchangeable, so communication failed.

Case is closed as fas as I know.
