Hello,

in order to get the Core dump this is what happens...
cd /usr/pkg/bin/
./BitchX-1.0c19

it opens BitchX and connects to irc.prison.net (I
tried multiple servers)
it logs onto the server, works GREAT, 
I can do /whois mynick and it coms up fine
I can do lists ETC it all works

when I join a channel is where I get the problem...
*** luma_
[~luma@CPE00503ee3ffe1-CM0011aea1c0c2.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com]
has   
          joined #luma                                
                         
*** [Users(#luma:1)]                                  
                         
[@luma_     ]

             [U:a:S:b:h] 
[#luma] Bus error                                     
                         
lumaunxsvr: {9} 

----
if I was to be loged on as root (I HATE to do this but
I triend it on a friends public server) it gives me
Bus Error (Core Dump)


here is how I installed BitchX.....

downloaded pkgsrc.tar.gz
exracted it to /usr
went to /usr/pkgsrc/chat/bitchx
make
make install

it took a LONG time as it downloaded perl and ssl.


here is something else I tried...
downloaded the Source from BitchX website
extracted it
./configure
gmake
gmake install

this one does not give me a core dump but the font is
all screwed up. only way to describe is using this
screenshot...

I tried telnet and putty with SSH

no go

Thank you for the help
