While checking yesterday my snort database i found some attacks from the host 210.193.16.22 so i began to resolve the dns from the hosts with mirc32 and i executed the following commands in the status window:

/dns 210.193.16.22
/dns 210.193.16.23
/dns 210.193.16.24

/dns 210.193.16.25

I can't reproduce it here (tried your exact sequence):

[23:21:21] *** Looking up 210.193.16.22
[23:21:22] *** Looking up 210.193.16.23
[23:21:22] *** Looking up 210.193.16.24
[23:21:37] *** Unable to resolve 210.193.16.22
[23:21:37] *** Looking up 210.193.16.25

[23:21:48] *** Unable to resolve 210.193.16.24
[23:21:54] *** Unable to resolve 210.193.16.25

Also tried resolving >15 ips and still no crash,
tested both mIRC 6.01 and 6.03 at w2k prof. SP3, dnsapi.dll 5.00.2195.6012.
