>Description:
Old obsolete, insecure version.
The current version of BitchX, released in 2004, have security problems allowing remote IRC servers to execute arbitrary code on the client's machine (CVE-2007-3360, CVE-2007-4584).

BitchX 1.2 is release ready per developers (caf) and should be added to the ports tree. It is stable. However, in order for it to compile on BitchX 9 the configure file must be patched.
I would also like to become the maintainer of the BitchX port.
>How-To-Repeat:
run the following commands:
0) Be running FreeBSD9.0-RC3 system.
1) svn co https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk bitchx-trunk
2) cd bitchx-trunk
3) ./configure
Receive error about unterminated quoted strings.
>Fix:
Change the configure file in the BitchX1.2 source.
lines changed in configure file: 12668 and 13936
