The current version of the code doesn't close its resources in case of errors. If this happens to many times, the server will crash because "to many open files". This is a Denial of Service attack vector as clients can trigger his condition by sending bogus data to Votifer's listening port.

The underlying DoS issues have been long fixed with NuVotifier (I don't use any of the networking code from Votifier). I highly recommend using it instead.
