First, in a patchlevel we do not add new features, we only fix
bugs.

And secondly, it does support services, and it does for ages, but
I have the feeling you mean different kind of services.  Services
here can not have any effect on channels, which is probably what
you want.

If you want something like chanserv, I suggest you get some
services that link as a server.  The problem would be that it
needs to be compatible with our server.  I have no idea if there
is any, but I do here there are.

This happens when select() says something happened on that fd,
which means there is a new client.  When we call accept() it
returns -1, and sets errno to ECONNRESET.  My manpage does not
mention that accept can set that as error, so we can only guess
what happened.

My guess is that someone tried to connect but disconnected before
we called accept().
