  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>This plagues every version of ircservices that ive used. This ver is =
  35 </I>&gt;<i>ircservices-4.5pre6
  36 </I>&gt;<i>Ive tried on multiple boxes, but they are all RH 7.0
  37 </I>
  38      That's your problem; RedHat 7.0 uses a buggy libc.  Downgrade to
  39 6.2 or use a different distribution.  (Alternatively, edit sysconf.h
  40 after running configure and set HAVE_STRTOK to 0; the configure
  41 script should detect this, but doesn't for some reason.  I suspect my
  42 test method is bad.)

  44 &gt;<i>i was taught to shy away from strtok
  45 </I>
  46      Then you were taught wrong.  There's nothing wrong with using
  47 strtok() as long as you know what it does--in particular, that it
  48 modifies its string parameter.  It's just like strcpy() and friends;
  49 perfectly safe as long as you use it properly.
