Hiya, this is my first post *waves to everyone* :P

I found a problem in mirc 6.1/6.11 --

alias debug.crash { debug_crash }
/debug -i NUL $debug.crash

Crashes mirc when something is passed to $debug.crash
It seems $debug.crash can't handle an invalid command.
I stumbled upon it when i made a typo -- i'm surprised I'm
the first to report it :-)

interesting bug, lets just hope no one wants to make scripts like that debug identifiers with invalid commands, lol.

Ok, the crash is fixed as of 6.12 but it still floods the
status window with:
DEBUG_CRASH Unknown command
even when there is no data currently being passed
to $debug.crash

If the alias is changed to
alias debug.crash { echo -s debug_crash }
It only prints "debug_crash" in status when data
is being passed to $debug.crash as you would
expect it to..

I know it's not a severe problem but strange nonetheless.

That would be because there IS data being passed to it.
mIRC sends all commands which it does not recognize to the server.
mIRC doesn't recognize "debug_crash" so it sends it to the server, which again goes through debug -i.
Endless cycle...
