[IRCServices Coding] Serious Bug, Probaby should be fixed

[Andrew Church]

     If anyone else wants to look at this, go ahead, but as far as I'm
concerned it's unreproduceable and therefore there's nothing I can do.
The backtrace below says ServicesRoot is NULL, but that line isn't reached
unless NickServ is loaded, NickServ won't load if OperServ isn't loaded,
and OperServ won't load if ServicesRoot is NULL, therefore this case
cannot happen.
