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..
