an interesting glitch with .whois

[Draknon]

I am coming across this litte glitch and was hoping someone might know how to fix it other than telling the person to change their nick.

<Draknon> .whois {vivi}D
<companion> [04:26:12] #Draknon# whois {{vivi}D}
<companion> Can't find anyone matching that.

Notice, it put an extra { in front on her nick. so 2 questions come to mind.

1: why is it doing that?
2: how do I fix it / change it?

and yes this is on the partyline

the fix was that I was on 1.6 and I upgraded to 1.8.3 and it is working properly now.
