Details

when I enter the list command, mozbot doesn't display the whole list. Instead it displays a few (3-5) entries. when I enter a second list command, mozbot display's some more entries. this continues for a while and then mozbot crashes. an example log is: <edwin> list <mozbot> Bezoar netscape.com <mozbot> MarcS netscape.com <mozbot> brendan netscape.com <mozbot> cyeh (concentric.net|netscape.com) <mozbot> dawn (cannibal.mi.org|netscape.com|meer.net) <edwin> list <mozbot> dmose netscape.com <mozbot> edwin student.utwente.nl <mozbot> endico (cannibal.mi.org|netscape.com|meer.net) <edwin> list <mozbot> furball cafebabe.org <mozbot> harrison (censor.com|netscape.com) <mozbot> improv cvl233056.columbus.rr.com <edwin> list <mozbot> jwz (netscape.com|ricochet.net) <mozbot> l\t netscape.com <mozbot> leaf (netscape.com|alumni.cse.ucsc.edu) <edwin> list <edwin> list <edwin> list and it's dead: mozbot [mozbot@h-207-200-73-38.netscape.com] has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 361 seconds)

So, I'm pretty sure this was caused by mozbot sending too many messages too quickly, and the server getting fed up with this "obnoxious user" and killing it. I have changed mozbot so that it won't send more than one message every two seconds.
