what happend:
i starded xchat 2.0.6 on my linux machine and, just for
fun, tried to exploit it via mirc.
if you are not familiar with that: mIRC 6.11 and ealier
6.x crashed on a malformated dcc request. 6.12 fixed that.
oh wonder! xchat closed!!!!

downgraded to 2.0.5 and tried again
--- DCC RECV connect attempt to <mynick> failed
