Could you who see this problem check out 1.3.99 - I think I fixed the TCP window handling problem that resulted in problems for irc over localhost. Ie with 1.3.99, it should be possible to run irc locally _without_ the MTU hack or any modifications to irc..
Alan, I never got any feedback on my suggested fix, so I just went ahead and did it, and it did fix the problem that I saw with my silly test-program..
