telnet.read_until() from telnetlib

[Jacek Popławski]

I have strange problem with telnetlib.

r=self.telnet.read_until(expected,timeout)

It works in most cases (hundrets of iterations), but sometimes "r" doesn't
contain "expected", first I thought that server is responding incorrectly, then
I realized that read_until doesn't wait timeout seconds!

example output (value of r):

"#"

while I was expecting "config#"

value of timeout is 20

PS. Python 2.4.1, Cygwin.
