I'm redirecting this thread to -stable, since it's not about
FreeBSD-current.

I can't think of any reasonable explanation for this. The assertion
is in the dynamic linker. But it already did its job long ago, before
the first message ("Trying x.x.x.x...") was printed. I can only guess
that telnet is making a random jump which happens to land in the
middle of the dynamic linker code. Maybe it's a kernel bug.
