Actually, it doesn't.  The only difference that "the cyclone patch" makes
is an alteration to how the "PASS" command is sent to the remote server
when the initial connection is being established:

diff -u ircservices-4.4.9.orig/init.c ircservices-4.4.9/init.c

Not only does that not have a single thing to do with timestamping as you
claim, it also shouldn't even be a consideration when you evaluate the
overall stability and operation of IRCServices.
