Comment(by kamath):

 Is there anything else I can do to help this issue get resolved?  If
 someone could point to the relevant bits of code to look at, I might have
 a clue, but I've never had much luck with SSL code.

 As for why we have authentication on our internal IRC server, I have one
 word: Auditors.  We started logging all our internal IRC chats, and in
 order to make the logs meaningful, it was decided that we'd do
 authentication.

 It was then 'discovered' that using authenticatino over IRC would ship a
 password in plaintext, and that's why we have SSL
