MSN666 has no backdoors , but gobble confused, he even wrote *alert mail ,
he seems to be very nervous against MSN666

actually , it has some bugs ,
coz of it is the proof of concept code for "Sensitive IM Security"

I don't beleive that MSN666 has a backdoor. Is the function pattern2 safe
in it's use of sscanf? What if msg = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAAAABBBB" is longer
than 16 bytes on line 254?

sscanf ( msg, "%s", &opmsg )

Any help is appreciated.
