[Simh] 4.0.0 Beta socket problem on RaspberryPi/raspbian

[Mark Benson]

Hi,

I have been trying to upgrade my RaspberryPi dedicated machine with the 4.0.0 beta of simh (because it does buffered TELNET and is thus way more useful as a persistent background process) but I hit a snag:

OUTPUT:

MicroVAX 3900 simulator V4.0-0 Beta        git commit id: ba09b2d3

It appears simh is struggling to attach to a telnet port? 3.9.0 worked just dandy.
