Problem:
It is possible to create a skin for trillian that will trigger a buffer =
overflow.

In trillian.xml under the <prefs> section.
  [control name=3D"colors" type=3D"colors"]
   [colors  file=3D"(4096 characters)"]

Still no word from Cerulean Studios on when a fix will be available. =
They were alerted to this=20
problem on july 28th.
