   This is likely caused by IRC doing short writes to the socket (the fact
that PUSH is set is a good indicator of this). I don't know why it would be
doing that, but it's not a bug in FreeBSD. In my previous response, I was
only concerned with the long delays you were seeing - not in the multiple
small packets.
