[IRCServices Coding] Services 5.0 Odd enforcer bug

[Mark Hetherington]

Additional: This issue seems to have "permanance". Once a nickname is put 
into this "state", all future use of it triggers similar enforcer behaviour.

continuing on from the earlier log:

quit irc using alternate unregistered nick
<StatServ> SIGNOFF: me3-->(Quit: )
rejoin irc with unregistered alternate nick
<StatServ> SIGNON me3(g at mhetherington.demon.co.uk) at: irc.ctcp.net
quit irc using alternate unregistered nick
<StatServ> SIGNOFF: me3-->(Quit: )
rejoin with the me2 nick and identify
<StatServ> SIGNON me2(g at mhetherington.demon.co.uk) at: irc.ctcp.net
quit irc
<StatServ> SIGNOFF: me2-->(Quit: )
<StatServ> SIGNON me2(enforcer at ctcp.net) at: services.ctcp.net
