Subject: Indigostar - Perledit

right, i did not know exactly how to classify it, mabey there is a
buffer for the connection
and its not flushing on disconnect??  it does bind to 0.0.0.0:1956
I assume looking at the file it is for traceback function in the
registered version.
Nevertheless a interesting scenario for a DoS, type of thing targeted
at a user
is quite interesting.
