testing this on efent, and it's not possible at this time to test the
original length channel:  #%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s, as it is closed down, but,
testing by adding a few more and less %s's as well as with %n's in channel
names with IRCII 2.8.2-EPIC2.002 shows no vulnerability to this attack.
Perhaps someone can clue me, is the length of the channel string fixed in
this assualt, or can it vary somewhat in length?  I'll try to do some
further testing on a private server I know of that I can work on better
later this weekend.

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
