[CTB]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)

I have mozbot-latest, and if I use a Net::IRC newer then 0.70, then talking to
the bot makes it crash, joining a channel with anyhting in the topic makes it
crash, doing anyhitng pretty much and the bot will crash. Also the server for
insults and excuse's for the Rude module bot appear to be gone. Are there any
other servers for these two things?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install newest Net::IRC
2.have the bot join a channel with a topic, or say anyhting to the bot
3.

Actual Results:  
the bot crashes with errors about somethign in Net::IRC

Expected Results:  
well, the bot shouldn't have crashed

I'm seeing this as well... just bothered tooling around with the bot again for
the first time in a year or so. Maybe I'll take a look later, but it was more on
a whim that I installed it then a need, so I can't say when I'll get to it.
(output of console w/ Net::IRC 7.5 i believe)

I think I fixed this in cvs tip a few months ago, are you seeing this in 2.4 or
in the CVS code?

Comment 3

[Chris Casciano]

2.4... i'll update to cvs tonight and check again

Comment 4

[Chris Casciano]

indeed... upodated to cvs tip and build works fine joining / interacting.

few minor module install problems but those seem to be on my end (additional
perl modules not installed)

In any case... now WFM
