[Bug 996947] Re: misc.last can crash the computer where the bot is running

 

ubottu and its clones don't have @last available to normal users, kubot
has it disabled, I don't know other bots. I'll ping AlanBell about
Meetingology.

As a workaround if you have a supybot and has @last available, disable
it with "@disable last"
