The bug is in the loop starting at line 1079 in FuzzyHostMatch in item.c:

  for (sp = s2; sp < s2+strlen(s2); sp++ )
     {
     if ( isdigit((int)*sp) )
        {
        *sp = '\0';
        break;
        }
     }

The loop modifies the string pointed to by s2 (the seond argument), and
FuzzyHostMatch is called from HandleHostRange in functions.c with
VDEFAULTBINSERVER.name as the second argument.
