Yes. The code you're running is described as having "random sleeps added to “fix” race conditions, validation functions that just returned true, catastrophic cryptographic vulnerabilities, whole parts of the protocol unimplemented, kernel panics, security bypasses, overflows, random printf statements deep in crypto code, the most spectacular buffer overflows"
This is a kernel RCE just waiting to happen.

- api 6y ago> random sleeps added to “fix” race conditions That's just horrifying. It shows someone who knows next to nothing about multithreaded code and is kludging their way through. Not someone you want within a hundred feet of anything other than maybe front-end web, and even there they're going to be the kind of person who blocks the node.js event loop (because async coding is like the junior cousin of multithreading).
