Triggering this issue is non-trivial and it may not occur in all circumstances, but all users are advised to upgrade. If that’s not possible, disabling DNS lookups for connecting users (nouserdns setting) mitigates the problem. server:irc inspircd 2.0.18 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
