IRC Services support seems to be broken on the latest git. I guess it doesn't help that I'm using a discontinued IRC services application but since it does provide what is needed I've gotten used to using it anyways. On the most recent git (compiled into deb packages) rfc1459 support seems to break. I get the following in my syslog with ircservices attempts to connect.

Just a thought but the buffering may be a bit off on this. It seems the commands from ircservices are not being properly interpreted somewhere. The last built I had that did work correctly. That one had a version string of ngircd-17.1~55-g5417a72 being it was from the git rep when I did it. The one I did just now was done today and I got all those errors above. The debug build doesn't provide any additional information otherwise I would provide that as well. If there is anything you can advise then I'm open for it.
