- Don't generate error messages for unknown commands received before the
client is registered with the server (like the original ircd).
- Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
- - Make netsplit messages RFC compliant.
+ - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
- Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if the client
is member of multiple channels.
- Don't exit server if closing of a socket fails; instead ignore it and
most probably other older C compilers on other systems.
- When the daemon should switch to another user ID (ServerID is defined in
the configuration file) and is not running in a chroot environment, it
- changes it's working directory to the home directory of this user. This

should enable the system to write proper core files when not running with
root privileges ...
