While reading my bugtraq mail, I read over the ICQ overflow that had be found (suprised it came so late) so I was 
curious if this existed in any other clients. Upon testing the below URL, yahoo pager/messenger crashed in the same was 
as ICQ.

Just a quick little find, I am guessing that it should be easy to push the stack in an exploitable direction, but for 
the time being, it can be used as just a simple DoS attack.
