     This indicates that Services wasn't able to set modes on the listed
channel, and is how Services prevents itself from "fighting" with the
IRC server when the server won't let it set channel modes.  When
Services detects this, it prints a warning like the above in the log,
sends out a WALLOPS/GLOBOPS (depending on the IRC server type), and
refuses to set any more modes on that channel.

     Unfortunately, the detection sometimes goes off when in reality
nothing bad is happening.  I'm working on a better way of detecting the
problem, but for now, clearing out the channel (getting everyone to
leave so the channel disappears) will make Services forget about the
problem and set modes on that channel again.
