nicklen

[Joan Sarah Touzet]

Hi there --

I haven't looked more specifically at this defect yet, but in general
NICKLEN must be set to the *identical* length on every server in your
network or the protocol fails.  Were you, by chance, trying to connect
to a remote server that had a different NICKLEN compiled in?
