[IRCServices Coding] Services 5.0 alpha 20 Bug with handling of channel '#'

Starting Services 5 with the channel '#' in the database will result in the
deletion of all registered channels.

It seems the code for checking for the '#' channel will set ci to NULL
thereby triggering the failure flag resulting in the rest of the channel
database not being read.

As a workaround, drop the channel '#' before starting services 5.0a20.
