  49 I wouldn't rely on +O'ing channels using bahamut to keep users out
  50 of them.  When a server splits +O is lost on that server and isn't
  51 resynced when it relinks so anyone who goes on the server that
  52 split will get in the channel just fine. Mlocking +O wont help
  53 because the servers that didn't split still have +O so services
  54 doesn't know that its -O on that server.
