There is a possibility that the source code some of you have downloaded contained a 
backdoor. This only affects BitchX version 1.0c19. You can check your source with 'md5 
/sw/src/ircii-pana-1.0c19.tar.gz' If the result is: '46805199254c0fa2119d7c579194aba8' 
its bad (hacked) if its '79431ff0880e7317049045981fac8adc' its good.
(assuming /sw/src is where the source is)

If you have a bad copy of the source, or you just want to be on the safe side, remove 
the source tarball (rm /sw/src/ircii-pana-1.0c19.tar.gz) and do fink rebuild bitchx. 
This will redownload a clean source and rebuild BitchX without the security bug.
