BitchX Segmentation Fault

Hello vuln-dev,

I don't know if this is a widely known thing, but recently I.. um...
discovered a segmentation fault bug in every BitchX irc client I've
encountered.
The problem occurs when you try to change your nick during a connection
to the server. If you do it before the server registeres your nick,
BitchX drops with a segfault. 
I don't know if this is exploitable... just wanted to let you know. :)
I tested this on RedHat 6.2 and Slackware 8.0
