Some people are (IMHO) a little too quick to post to BUGTRAQ without
even bothering to send us a PR so we can at least have a chance to
look at the problem. Anyway, somebody might want to look into this:

Noone else has a .sig like this one.

Subject: FreeBSD + ircII + purepak.irc = reboot
To: BUGTRAQ@NETSPACE.ORG
When playing around with on a private irc server one day, I rebooted a
FreeBSD 2.2.5-stable web server which I am the assistant sys-admin.
Thinking this was a fluke, I tried it again, and it happened again. I
looked at my current system limits (limits -h in a tcsh shell) and found my
file descriptors were limited to 4142. I loaded ircII (2.9-roof) with
purepak.irc 2.07. I then did:
/bot massmake 1000 Blah servername.
After about 2 minutes the machine rebooted again. I have tested this with 2
other freebsd machines (2.2.5-stable and 2.2.6-stable) with the same
success.
When my descriptors where tuned down from above 200, I would not crash it
anymore.
