    -> It was found some time ago that few of IRCnet's ircd's
    -> with +topic module can be rebooted by simply
    ->
    -> doing /quote TOPIC !etC (or-whatever !channel)
    ->
    -> This has been already mass-abused by 'EvIL MiRkhAx0rZ'
    ->
    -> and servers have been patched now... so time for it to go public since
    -> there is virtually no more threat left
    
    There were some bugs in ircd and/or patches which caused this.
    The new version of topic patch is available e.g. on
    http://nextra.irc.sk/download/ and it's not affected.

     Your mouse has moved. Windows NT must be now restarted for changes
     to take effect. Reboot ? (Y/N)
