there is *nothing* wrong with the irssi binary package.  you should read
it once again more carefuly.  compilation from sources (e.g. pkgsrc) may
caused trouble (the backdoor was in configure script) and there is new
irssi package for some time available from pkgsrc.  please don't spread
such misinformation.
