Before we get too carried away, this bug is on the server season`d is on, not diemen.*, and it actually looks like someone has specifically hacked mesa's code.
mesa.* is using u2.10.11.02 and I tested and confirmed this from elsene.* which is also using u2.10.11.02 and doesn't have this bug. Seems to me the admin of mesa.* (or whomever it was that compiled u2.10.11.02) is thinking more of the way it looks than the RFC. > hi there, > > I was whois'ing a friend that is connected to mesa.* and I observed that a > remote whois (/whois nick nick) was returning me a different username. > > [12:44] -> Server: whois season`d > Season`d is [EMAIL PROTECTED] * *** This space left empty. *** > Season`d using *.undernet.org The Undernet Underworld > [12:44] Season`d is logged in as Seasoned > season`d End of /WHOIS list. > > in telnet, it shows this: > :Diemen.NL.EU.Undernet.org 311 hidd Season`d trialgun ready2.lock-n-load.org > * :*** This space left empty. *** > :Diemen.NL.EU.Undernet.org 312 hidd Season`d *.undernet.org :The Undernet > Underworld > :Diemen.NL.EU.Undernet.org 330 hidd Season`d Seasoned :is logged in as > :Diemen.NL.EU.Undernet.org 318 hidd season`d :End of /WHOIS list. > > The 2 whois I just pasted are ok.
