AW: [IRCServices] "Ghosted user"

[Yusuf Iskenderoglu]

This has the following meaning:

You get a notice of a KILL.
The kill comes from server1.
Server1 kills user. User is from server2
And the user is being killed, because it issued a privmsg, although it
does not exist anymore.

Case:

You have a netjoin. During this, services is being introduced to
the network. So your users attempt to send a
:nick PRIVMSG nickserv at services.your.net :identify abc123
BUT, the netjoin handling operates this way:

Tell the other server about NICKs.
Tell the other server about (S)JOINs.
Tell the other server about channel topics, eventually in a TS3 matter,
if you are using a bahamut or a derivative.

Where are your privmsgs ? They have to wait. But services does not wait.
This means, the 60second, or 20 second timers of services for
identify cases start and stop, before the IDENTIFY arrives.
Result ? Services send a SVSNICK. It goes over server1 to server2.
Result ? Your nick is changed.
Result ? There is a PRIVMSG on the way to services, while your nick
is already changed.
Result ? There seems to be a ghost from server2 sending a 
privmsg for server1.
Result ? Server1 does not like this.
Result ? Server1 KILLs this ghost.
