slack.com is a chat service with optional IRC integration. Since today I can no longer connect to their IRC gateway using XChat-GNOME. The error is:

which, translated from lt_LT, means

I think this is part of the fallout of CVE-2014-3566 (aka POODLE). XChat-GNOME is trying to use the insecure SSL protocol version 3, and Slack, reasonably enough, rejects that.
