     This probably means you're not running under root and you have (or
your system administrator has) limited your core dump file size.  It's
harmless in terms of program function, and will only potentially affect
you if Services crashes and you try to get a core dump.  If it bothers
you, run ./configure with the -no-dumpcore option and this code will be
disabled.  (-dumpcore is enabled by default in beta versions in order to
help catch bugs.)

     This indicates an unrecognized message from the server.  What IRC
server are you using?

>available with this IRC server

     This indicates that your IRC server doesn't send client IP addresses
in the NICK message, which means that Services won't be able to enforce
SZlines directly.  On some servers, it may be possible to send SZlines
directly to the IRC servers by enabling ImmediatelySendSline in
modules.conf, but if your servers do not support SZlines, then you will
be unable to use them at all.
