PROBLEM

	Meliksah Ozoral found an exploitable buffer  overflow  vulnerability  in
	\"helpctr.exe\", which can enable an attacker to  execute  an  arbitrary
	code on remote users with a malformed url.
	

	Example :
	

	\"hcp://m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m\"
