Subject: quakeworld/win32 DoS  
  
the output of the attached perl script, when piped through netcat,  
crashes quakeworld for win32. As i don't have any win32 debuging  
tools and the problem doesn't occur under linux i can't further  
investigate this. Zoid (idsoftware) has been mailed some weeks ago,  
but he didn't look very interested...  
  
cya,  
paul
