[IRCServices] Exception Del Crash Bug

Wow that was an extremely rude reply.

First off other then neglecting to include the O/S info I gave all the
information the manual asked. Which it's running Slackware 10 with kernel
2.6.7 on an AthlonXP 2500+ with 256MB of RAM.

Second off it's a stock version of services. The character '-' is always
placed before the exception reason when you issue the view command (versus
the list command).  I'd highly recommend you give the '/operserv exception
view' command a try.

Finally there was no back trace. I'm currently trying recreate the crash,
but it may very well have been due several other factors to, include the
length of time services had been up and running as it appears to me that
something was handled incorrectly with the buffer, which could of been a
progressive problem.  One other piece of information that is worth adding is
it only happened with the issue of the 'exception del num' command, but
appeared to be fine with the 'exception del host' command... as soon as I
can recreate the crash I'll gladly provide the debug log.

the appearance of the - charactor in every exception makes it appear so, if
it has been modified, dont expect help :)
