This program doesn't do anything to my Serv-U program. I can see the
garbage flooding, however when I break out of serv-who.c, serv-u continues
to run normally without any crash or system slowdown. I'm running win95
osr2 on a PPro 150, and ServU version 2.0c 32bit. This is an older version
so perhaps that's the reason ..
