When a crash occurs, Windows should display a dialog window such as the one below. Click the “click here” link to open the second window.

Please send me the following information:

• ( a ) The ModVer (e.g. 2.4.5.3 is actually XChat 2.4.5c)
• ( b ) The Offset.
• ( c ) The ModName.

Please send the above by email to and try to describe what you were doing when the crash occured.

1. X-Chat is a free program, we need your help to debug it!
2. Find the location of the xchat binary (probably /usr/bin/xchat)
3. Type gdb xchat
4. Type run
5. Use X-Chat normally, but only connect to servers via their IP number. It won't resolve hostnames while through gdb.
6. Once a crash occurs, go back to gdb and type bt, capture the output and email it to me: zed [at] xchat [dot] org .
