  34 <PRE>   I recently experienced a minor bug on my network which is currently
  35 running IRCServices 5.0.31 on Red Hat Linux 9.0 on an Intel Celeron 1.7
  36 GHz processor.
  37         A while ago I noticed that a NickServ Enforcer bot had been sitting on
  38 a nickname for over an hour.  Checking NickServ INFO returned that the
  39 nickname was not registered.  After a little investigating in the log
  40 files I noticed that the nickname had very recently been unlinked by its
  41 owner.  With that in hand I've been able to consistently reproduce the
  42 problem by taking the following steps:  (This assumes of course that
  43 your network does not have NSForceNickChange enabled.)
  44         1) Register a nickname and enable automatic kill protection and then
  45 link another nickname to your name.
  46         2) Have another user use the nickname you just linked and wait for
  47 NickServ to kill the user.
  48         3) Unlink the other nickname from your main nickname and watch as the
  49 NickServ enforcer bot doesn't ever release the nickname.  If you attempt
  50 to use NickServ release you will be told the nickname isn't being held.
  51         Before reporting the problem, I upgraded to IRCServices 5.0.36 and it
  52 is still reproducible.  I believe that Services should simply remove the
  53 enforcer bot holding a nickname if the user unlinks the nickname while
  54 the enforcer is online.
