Perhaps this has been reported.  I havent seen it.  If it has been
previously reported, sorry.  Consider this a reminder.

Novell client opens port 427 TCP.  My services file reports this port to be
known as 'svrloc'.  You can bluescreen Win95/98 with Novell Client versions
3.0 and 3.0.1 by sending a SYN to this port, as you would with 'nmap -sS -p
427 <target>'.  This is quite fatal.  The only recovery seems to be a power
reset.

Yes, we reported this (and posted to BUGTRAQ) late in 1998.
