Bad data in recv() ?!?

[James Waldrop <sulam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It turns out my mangled messages are happening in recv(). I am printing
the buffer out immediately after it's filled in (up to \r) and see the
mangling already there.

Any clues on why recv() would be giving back bad data? Of course I'll be
looking at our client code more closely now, but "PRIVMSG" is hardcoded
into the strings as they go on the wire and is getting mangled too, so I
can't imagine how it would be that.
