As a followup:

The problem was that the PC application didn't negotiate tcp_keepalive
timers "on", so they were assumed "off" (as per RFC1122).  The high
CPU usage was caused by the local shell 'trapping' signals that would
have allowed the shell to exit and the telnet session to close normally.

The problem was resolved by removing the 'trap' statement from the shell
script which was run from the shell startup file. (this was used to start
a menu system)
