I don't think so.  The telnet object is completely wrapped in a class and 
each instance of the class is unique to each thread (it is constructed 
inside the thread).  There are no class variables.  And the variables 
leading into the @conn.write() call are all local.

This is tricky 'cause the problem is intermittent.
