Package: netcat6
Version: 1.0-6
Severity: important

Hi,

Netcat6 does not wait on stdin when in client mode.

Steps to repeat:

 $ nc www.google.com 80

Effects:

 the nc binary returns immediately after connecting

Expected effect:

 nc waits for lines on stdin, then forwards them through the remote socket

The expected behavior exists on Ubuntu, which has nc6 1.0-5, so the
bug may have been introduced in 1.0-6.
