indeed. i hope it'll be fixed? (127 looks very ok to me)

i think of another idea: in ircu, check the numeric of the S message and
force it to be 2^n-1 (otherwise break the link), to prevent mistakes in
the future. i could make a patch for this.

I'd rather force a squit with a protocol violation error, we shouldn't
silently fix problems, but force them fixed where they occur.

[Coder-Com] gnuworld sends character 0 at end of messages

2002-07-13 Thread bas

i discovered gnuworld sends a character NULL at the end of a lot of the
messages, like B, J, M (except when done using QUOTE)

this was causing problems with beware ircd as it uses delphi strings. i
fixed the problem on my side but i feel gnuworld is breaking the
protocol, NULL is a disallowed character.
