regarding this hanson exploit... i've not been able to use it in anyway to
break my mirc 5.3, but i assume thats because i'm not using this feature
in my script... it DOES however seem to be able to crash my ICQ on a
regular basis, when directed at the ICQ port... sometimes just
disconnecting me, and sometimes causing an "internal error" that closes
the program... just thought i'd let y'all know
