the other part must select the Client mode".
A denial of service condition occurs when a very long text string is sent
to the server side of the TCP Chat program.

Vulnerable Systems:
* TCP Chat version 1.0
Error messages:
'Run-time error '40006';
Wrong protocol or connection state for the requested transaction or
