Somebody's attacking my LimeWire

Not sure if this has been addressed before, but I can't find anything about it.

I'm running LimeWire Classic for Mac, version 3.0.1, and recently I started having a problem. While searching for music, a dialog box would pop up and announce an error. After this point, I can search for *anything* -- including the word "the" -- and absolutely NO results will be returned.

Through trial and error I narrowed this down and determined that specific searches prompted this error -- which meant somebody was purposely sending my LimeWire crap to disable it. (Try typing in "Lou Reed Street Hassle" for a *really* quick demonstration.)

First, I just wanted to alert people who are getting the same error, because it confused me for weeks. Second, I'd really like a solution for this. I emailed the Bug Report address, but never heard. Has it been fixed? Is there a workaround?

Thanks!
