The patch changes the behaviour from being correct according to the standards and working with 90% of the cases, to being incorrect according to the standard and definately working with the remaining 10%, but possibly hurting the 90%. The 10% with error has configured their IRC client to use server extensions to get "their own IP", as opposed to using the IP they are actually binding their recieve socket to. My previous stance on this was "client configuration bug - fix in that end", but thinking a bit more about it, I believe it will only hurt a miniscule fraction the 90% (perhaps none of them, though that would be pure luck), and thus would be an overall win. Feel free to apply - we are more likely to hear from people we might break than from people that don't get it to work from the start, so it is a worthwhile experiment. (I have nothing approaching an easy way of testing the patch beyond compilation, since I don't use NAT for any of my own boxes anymore). Eivind.
