[Bug 1886851] [NEW] irssi freezes on particular input - upstream bugs

[Mason Loring Bliss]

Public bug reported:

I've observed that irssi in Focal Fossa locks up randomly, requiring that 
the process be killed. It seems very likely that it is (or is related to) 
the following upstream bug report:

    https://github.com/irssi/irssi/issues/1180
    https://github.com/irssi/irssi/pull/1183

Also noted here:

    https://irssi.org/NEWS/#v1-2-2

I depend on IRC for work so I moved away from Ubuntu on my IRC client
machine, which was unfortunate. I haven't been able to test the patches 
noted. It'd be great if Ubuntu pulled in the correction in whatever is the 
most reasonable way. I may get a chance to prepare and test a patched 
version of irssi before long, in which case I'll share feedback.

** Affects: irssi (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
