This morning finch stopped showing any IRC server window when starting. Normally I see a server window, from which I can "/join" channels. Looking in the "Debug window" I noticed a lot of this:

===
07:44:52 irc: Unrecognized message: :irc_server.com 003 my_id :This server was created Mar  7 2007 at 17:36:19

Apparently finch is no longer liking messages from this server. The only thing I recall changing recently was the linux kernel on my machine (last night).

$ finch --version
Finch 2.10.0-1.fc14 (93051ef2d941be32785c5fbb788ae3b0a0935b4d)
