Hi there!

Certain known design flaws in gnunet-chat are currently hitting GNUnet.  
gnunet-chat was always just designed as a tiny demo that would work in a 
small network, but as it seems at the moment many peers have loaded the 
gnunet-chat module which triggers one of the design problems, namely 
excessive bandwidth consumption by looping messages.  

It is thus advisable to not load gnunet-chat (edit config file, restart 
gnunetd) to remove this bandwidth-hog.

Christian [thanks to Igor for reporting]
