     Services 4.5.37 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.37.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.37.diff.gz

ftp.ircservices.za.net and the mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release fixes a bug in the Japanese language file which can
potentially allow arbitrary users to cause Services to crash; please
upgrade to this version as soon as possible, or remove the "ja_euc" and
"ja_sjis" files from the languages subdirectory of the data directory to
prevent them from being used (any nicks with these languages set will
revert to the default language).

     Actually, the Japanese language file is very much out of date and
poorly written in any case, and needs to be updated, but that's another
story...
