I had a stupid router box running 2.2.5 with 4MB RAM (yeah, it's possible)
which has been recently upgraded to 8MB (amazing, isn't it? :) and after
telneting about 5-6 times into the box, the next try I try to telnet in I
get the same message. So I guess the best way to reproduce this bug is
just to run out of memory. Or install a box with little or no ram and 
little or no swap and start a couple of bigger processes and then telnet
in a couple of times.
