>Description:
tkicb seems to have a big which is tickled by some message strings.
if someone sends the particular "message of death", then tkicb dies.
>How-To-Repeat:
use tkicb to log into an icb server. Now have someone send the message:
egrep '[[:space:]]*#?[[:space:]]*SUBDIR[[:space:]]*\+=[[:space:]]*cyrus([[:space:]]|#|$)'
and tkicb will die with wishx taking up most of the CPU.
>Fix:
not sure.
