If you're connected for 10 hours, an overflow happens, and you get a SIGSEGV

Reproducible: Always




There is a patch at the URL which I've tested.  Didn't work the first time in
an ebuild, so I'll attach the patch that I tested (and is working now) in an
ebuild.

Created an attachment (id=141154) [details]
patch that fixes this problem

I just added it to the epatch command in the ebuild, re-merged, and have been
connected to a mud for nearly 11 hours now.

was this patch sent upstream?

This patch was stolen from the upstream forums, where the author had already
acknowledged it and seemed to accept it (see the URL)

ok, it's in there.

If you are mud-addicted, remerge for the patch.
