this is the message of significance:
goqzxsrmglis: Received CTCP 'VERSION Reds and Blues: Bad news. Join the
Peoples Primary Party TODAY!
http://peoplesprimary.com'<http://peoplesprimary.com%27/>(to
#noisebridge) from goqzxsrmglis


I get this message and my pidgin attempts to join the channel "goqzxrmglis"

this is a SPAM CTCP and the text following "VERSION" should be stripped and
not processed by the client

my client should not attempt to join the username as channel simply because
the message contains the text "join"

repeated CTCP requests from the same user could have some kind of filtering
applied to them


I am using the windows binary release 2.6.5
