- I had that same problem with a particular version of IRC2 (UNIX). That version
- has other problems too. I solved the problem by grabbing a newer version.
- I think the old version was ircII2.06 (not sure). I updated to ircII2.1.5h
- which is not the latest but is ok. Just don't use the version that comes
- with the server, from what I hear.
