[IRCServices] Services Protection !

[Real]

I strongley believe there's certain kind of bug here, my services again
crashed, And it looks like Unreal is correctly set up against flood. this
time I didnt notice any flooding however I found out that I didnt not set a
session limit on the services.conf but I had it marked to take notice of
session limits , Maybe this caused the second crash ?
Also I had set up services to generate the core file when they crash where
is that core file supposed to be found after a crash?
This is the services log right before the first crash when it appears that
the flooder took them down, ALL those MODE +x are for the flooder's
different nicks.
Thanks

     Services shouldn't crash from just being flooded--if it did crash,
that's a bug in Services.  Other than that, use session limits and check
your ircd flood settings.
