Far from latest vesion, might already be fixed for all I know.
No actual problem, except not replying to "nick" command and errors appearing in log.

This is the view from irssi, connected to a different server:
17:48:36 -!- Bunisher_ has joined #hoaasdev (bot joins channel while Bunisher is still present)
17:55:08 <@Hoaas > !nick Bunisher
17:55:09 < Bunisher_> Error: Someone else is already using that nick. (as is the case)
17:57:29 -!- Netsplit hub.efnet.us <-> irc.homelien.no quits: @Bunisher
17:58:15 <@Hoaas > !nick Bunisher
No response, however an error appears in the log.

From the log, with output set to INFO:

Tried again a few minutes later, and then nick change worked fine.
