just to clear up some incorrect info in here:
The bug was originally reported in 1997 in a much older version of
ircII, but was apparently not corrected at the time, and the problem
was recently rediscovered independently. Development on the version of
ircII previously in ports ceased several years ago, and has been taken
up by a new group who have fixed this problem (and possibly
others). FreeBSD now provides this new version of ircII.
i honestly have no idea where _this_ paragraph's information came from.
ircII was fixed "back then" when the bug was originally reported here,
by the same group of people (mainly, myself) who had been maintaining
ircII for several years and _still_ maintain it today. 4.4S was only
released about 3 weeks ago, as i recall...
