[IRCServices] Odd Chanserv behaviour.. And some other thoughts

[Craig Edwards]

This happens sometimes with my WinBots too on ircservices 5.0.6+unreal 3.2 b13... Been happening since early ircservices betas and unreal b12... Very weird too, we thought it was the client software that was causing the problem until you mentioned this - what client do you use?
