Either I'm completely stupid and really need sleep or it's rather impossible
to access these on esper and I don't yet see them on ircservices.za.net.
Esper.net won't accept an email address as password for anonymous and
ircservices.za.net doesn't have .15 or .16.

The other mirrors should have it shortly.

     These releases correct a potential crash when some *Serv commands are
given too few or no parameters followed by whitespace.  On Linux systems
using glibc 2.2, this problem is (coincidentally) already worked around due
to a bug in the glibc strtok() function--however, if you are using version
4.5 and have not installed freshly since release 4.5.20 or earlier, you may
still be vulnerable, and you should reinstall from the tar.gz release. Other
systems may also be vulnerable to this problem.  All users of Services
should upgrade as soon as possible.

     Thanks go to Joao Luis Marques Pinto <Lamego at PTlink.net> for finding
and reporting this bug.

Changes in version 5.0.16 (and 4.5.45)
