That's a coincidence; I implemented a fix in the Telnet code for win32 last
night. I didn't use WaitForMultipleObjects() as I wanted to avoid
rewriting the select() loop. I need to clean up the code before I post the
patch for telnet.c.

If people really need to use cURL Telnet, that shouldn't to such a bother.
You will have to change the winsock init code to verify the winsock version
available.
