While fixing up all the buffer overrun problems in mSQL here is
another patch to fix the following quick and dirty DOS attack:
(1) telnet <your_favorite_msql_server> 1114
(2) type ^C (control C)
I have found this causes the server to dump and go away.
The patch (for version 2.0.1):
*** net.c.orig Mon Jul 28 14:19:30 1997
--- net.c Mon Jul 28 14:20:50 1997

int fd;
{
u_char buf[4];
! int len,

offset,
