System: NetBSD HEESENG1 1.4.2 NetBSD 1.4.2 (HEES) #2: Tue Jul 11 08:59:36 EDT 2000 eng@HEESENG1:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/HEES i386


>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.
