gollark: They kind of already have, but pretty mild ones.
gollark: There was a buffer or something it needed which didn't seem to exist because of me hackily patching stuff together, so I just assumed 512 bytes was enough.
gollark: There are probably horrible issues in the code I hackily tweaked, but I can't see them and it doesn't cause immediate crashing, so I ignored it.
