I didn't run STATS but in the SESSION LIST 3 output there were a lot
of hosts listed with zero or one user connected, so I'm sure that
OperServ thought there were a lot more users connected than there
actually were.

Odd log entries from around the time of the splits:
[Oct 24 14:23:30 2007] Source missing from SQUIT message
[Oct 24 14:53:00 2007] Source missing from SQUIT message
[Oct 24 14:53:30 2007] Source missing from SQUIT message

Other than those three source-missing errors, there are several "SJOIN
to channel for non-existent nick" errors following the reconnect, but
I frequently see those after netsplits with no obvious associated
problems.

This problem didn't occur until the first split after installing 5.1.3.
