ISTR this being a bug in the nick changing code.  One of our resident
coders on our network found the command being sent wasn't correct.  The
SVSNICK format wasn't correct.  Check your ircservices.log for
"permission denied, you are not an irc operator" directed to a server.
Then look in your protocols/unreal/<some file, prolly nickserv.c> for
the nick changing code.  Oh, and know what you're doing, because I sure
don't.
