Re: channel name messed up

[Christophe Kalt <kalt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is due to a client-server protocol change introduced in
the 2.9 version of the server. (see
http://www.funet.fi/~irc/server/other.html)

You can get around this by #defining MIRC_KLUDGE in config.h
before compiling.

The 2.9.5 version should be the last version to generate
such JOIN messages.
