Sometimes OP fail with netbots.tcl v4.09

Running a small botnet using netbots.tcl v4.09. Sometimes, especially I've noticed it when bots timeout and get back a few minutes later, the other bots in the channel refuse to give OP to the requesting bot.
The channel is invite and bot invite never fails. The bot is requesting OP, logs are full of such requests.
If I kill the bot pid and restart it everything works great. Seems only to happen when the bot been out of the channel for sometime and but not restarted. I've verified all flags on every bot and they all have 'bfo'.
Anyone know what might cause this behaviour?

When this is happening, you might like to try using ".reset" int he partyline.

Aditonaly, have you checked the output from doing ".channel #channel" to make sure the handles are matching correctly?

Aside from this, what network are you on, and what IRCD make and version does it use?

Thank you, I'll try to do ".reset" next time.

Yes, handles are a match and also they show up with the "B" flag when doing the ".channel" command.

It's on Linknet, my current irc client (epic) did not report any versions for the ircd. I never thought this could be an ircd problem., but I hear what you say. Thanks for your help

IRC is based arounf RFC 1459. This a draft document that outlines how server-to-server and server-to-client comunications should act.

In receint times, servers have stoped complying fully to this. In most cases in favour of security and functionality (in cases of functionality, some cases are not for the better) and in a lot of cases, making no sence and just breakes things.

These are the times, where information may not be seen correctly by eggdrop, and causes errors.
