(Webtools Graveyard :: Mozbot, defect)

Description

[Allan Engelhardt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041231
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041231

Downloaded latest version of mozbot.  At initial startup (after configuration
questions) and each startup after that, the program dies with an unhandled
exception just after it successfully joins the specified channel.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mozbot [./mozbot.pl]


Actual Results:  
The string "CYBAEA" below is the topic of the channel (or: the topic truncated
to a fixed number of characters for long topics).

$ ./mozbot.pl
