>I am not sure how to describe this other than by demonstration so... 
>
>A nick 'me2' is newly registered to preclude possible issues with long term 
>nicks. Kill protection is on. Access list is cleared (but this does not 
>seem to actually make a difference for some clients, it just made the nick 
>change easier to get), report from /ns info:
>-NickServ-           Options: Kill protection, Security
>
>I will interleave the events which follow with a display from my connection 
>watcher which might make things difficult to follow but it is an odd 
>situation to try and describe:
>
>** me2 joins IRC but does not identify to NickServ 
>[23:41] <StatServ> SIGNON me2(g at mhetherington.demon.co.uk) at: irc.ctcp.net
>** me2 gets the warning from nickserv and ignores (basically the nickname 
>needs to be guested by SVSNICK)
>[23:42] <StatServ> Nick Change me2 Has Changed Their Nick to: 
>Guest1228353554
>[23:42] <StatServ> SIGNON me2(enforcer at ctcp.net) at: services.ctcp.net
>[23:43] <StatServ> SIGNOFF: me2-->(me2)
>** me2 waits out the one minute hold by services then changes back to me2. 
>I have not tried release/recover to see if it has any effect.
>[23:43] <StatServ> Nick Change Guest1228353554 Has Changed Their Nick to: 
>me2
>** me2 identifies to NS as normal then changes nickname to something else, 
>quits irc, ping timeouts or any action which involves the nick leaving the 
>current nicklist.
>[23:43] <StatServ> Nick Change me2 Has Changed Their Nick to: me3
>[23:43] <StatServ> SIGNON me2(enforcer at ctcp.net) at: services.ctcp.net
>enforcer takes over the nick that has changed

>Sorry I could not describe it in a better way, but although the above may 
>not be the only way to recreate this problem, it is 100% reproducible.
