[PKG-IRC-Maintainers] Bug#668253: inspircd: does not close stdin or stderr on startup, consumes 100% cpu

[Michael]

Hello,

This bug is marked as fixed-upstream, however the bug has not been
fixed in Debian stable.

For me, the 100% CPU issue occurs with inspircd
1.1.22+dfsg-4+squeeze1, but not inspircd 1.1.22+dfsg-4, on two
different systems.  To me this indicates a bug in the security update.

Can this fix please be backported into stable?  It makes the software
unusable otherwise, and I have to hold off on applying the security
update or upgrade to testing.

Thanks,


Michael
