I have the LimeWire Client 2.4.1 for linux, and have never seen anything like that... strange I say.

Rather, it seems more like someone wrote a mini-Gnutella client where all it does is sit on the network listening for search requests, and then just spits back this url as a result no matter what the search was. I just seemes like there's some guy sitting out there on the network with this hoaxing client. Again, I don't think it's a problem with limewire.

I completely agree. The protocol is well documented and would I think it would be easy for anyone with some determination to create a program that misbehaves.

Still, an excellent network, and hopefully not too many people would do something like the above.

Yes, it sounds like someone is just spamming up the network. This isn't LimeWire's fault at all. Thankfully, it's easy to block; just use the keyword or IP filter from the Tools->Options->Filters menu.
