COMMAND

    ircII

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    FreeBSD 2.2.5-stable, 2.2.6-stable (at least tested)

PROBLEM

    Daniel Harris posted following which occured on FreeBSD.  You  can
    invoke a  crash depending  on your  system limits.   Under  tested
    system  file  descriptors  were  limited  to  4142.  After loading
    ircII (2.9-roof) with purepak.irc 2.07 do following:

        /bot massmake 1000 Blah servername

    After about 2 minutes the machine will reboot.  This was tested
    with 2 freebsd machines (2.2.5-stable and 2.2.6-stable) with the
    same success.

SOLUTION

    When descriptors  where tuned  down from  above 200,  it would not
    crash anymore.
