CRITICAL BUG FOUND, PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR SERVERS

I will not disclose any information about how to reproduce it. If you do know, please do not tell people about it, it will only make this situation worse.

There are already a few asshole going around crashing servers all over the place. Knowing the average maturity of the people in this forum, posting the instructions to reproduce the bug would cause total chaos. (Not to mention it is against the rules)

Average maturity being what...10?

Maturity has nothing to do with age.

Scientists have managed to teach a gorilla 400 words, and communicate with it using sign language. Its IQ is around 80, which is below the average human, but not by much.

I would expect the average IQ in this forum to be around 50, worse than a gorilla.

I think the people who make the average IQ 50 are the ones in the "Crap!" thread.

like me and i was trying to find out how to crash servers is changing the qkey to be really long or what.  if you tell people this bug want they crash the noob servers with people who don't know how to code or patch and leave all the good servers? and i will not benefit from this jugging how my server is still easily crashed by everyone

There is a patch in the initial post, or you could use one of the many patched QVMs, or you could ask one of the QVM authors or server ops how to patch you server.  IRC is your friend.

I think by this point, any QVM which is actually being updated has committed a fix for this, and the sticky can go bye-bye.

Actually, Lakitu7 thought it, and I happened to agree
