Do we understand each other? Apparently not.
I'm not talking about lice.
I'm talking about Light. Totally different thing to lice.
Discard all thoughts of lice from your mind.
As you might be aware, certain things cause EPIC to crash on finishing a
DCC, and to accept a DCC, but immediately drop the connection. There is a
patch floating around, it was submitted by hop to ircii-epic, if you don't
have it, I do. Please at least apply this patch or move to at least 0.9.9 or
0.9.10 or something. Remember, they may suck, but 0.9.6 does too, and better
to have the version which has attempted to fix all this shit.
