Screenshot of crash on Windows 98

I tried the application in a Windows XP VM and it behaves the same way as in
Wine. The application crashes immediately after joining a room. The copyright
is from 1996-1998 so I thought it might depend on some Win 9X specific
behavior. I therefore started my Win 98 VM and got the same result (see
screenshot). 

When taking a closer look at the crash it seems like the application tries to
parse the JOIN line. I assume the format of the JOIN line on FreeNode slightly
differs from what the application expects and since Windows 98 (see crash
dialog on screenshot) and Wine crash at the same address there is most probably
nothing we can fix. I would suggest to close this bug as INVALID since it looks
like an application bug.

Nevertheless, I found a different bug while testing. You can not enter a space
character into the chat input line (you do not need to connect to a server to
reproduce this). This works without problems on both Windows 98 and Windows XP.
This deserves a separate bug report though.
