The ibfs.mps script, doesn't use the net address in a way, that it would hang
the system. It only gets the net address as a string field and creates the
search query, which is also text (a simple message). Just check line 107-124
in ibfs.mps.

So the thing that your system hanged up, by entering a "wrong" net address, i
guess it has nothing to do with the address it self. Perhaps there is
something wrong in the setup of the script, check again the variables at lines
44-54 that are correct, or perhaps the message base you chose to send the
queries is locally corrupted.

The only reason i let the user to enter a net address, is because perhaps the
user is a visitor to that bbs and wants to receive the reply/results in
another one. But i think this is not going to happen often, so i may make the
net address to be a constant and not entered by the user.

Please try again and see if this happens all the time or it happened just
once. Also check the configuration is correct. The mod is new and needs
testing to find any bugs, but with your feedback bugs will be corrected.
