Anyone else having problems with talk?  I don't think it even worked in 
2.1.0R.  I get:

[Couldn't bind to control socket : Can't assign requested address (49)]

immediately after starting it.  Talk tries to specify an address when it 
binds it's sockets, instead of INADDR_ANY, and the kernel doesn't like 
it.  I got around it by changing the addresses to INADDR_ANY in ctl.c, 
but then it just gets stuck in a long "Checking for invitation on 
caller's machine" loop...
