The final colon is specified as a "last argument" designator, and is always
valid before the final argument. Its presence is optional if there is no
ambiguity about which argument is the final one (that is, if the final argument
does not contain a space) and that final argument does not itself start with a
colon.
The lines
:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PART #playzone\r\n
and
:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PART :#playzone\r\n
have identical meaning, and there is no reason to parse them differently. The
line
:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PART #playzone :\r\n
has a third meaning, and the line
:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PART :#playzone :\r\n
has a fourth meaning. Exploded out, they could be expressed as
arg0="[EMAIL PROTECTED]", arg1="PART", arg2="#playzone"
arg0="[EMAIL PROTECTED]", arg1="PART", arg2="#playzone"
arg0="[EMAIL PROTECTED]", arg1="PART", arg2="#playzone", arg3=""
arg0="[EMAIL PROTECTED]", arg1="PART", arg2="#playzone :"

An appropriate fix for Konversation might be to change how arguments are
parsed, perhaps using code like:
argc = 0;
if (*line == ':')
line++;
else
argv[argc++] = get_my_server_name();
while ((argc < maxargs) && (tmp = strchr(line, ' ')) != NULL) {
argv[argc++] = line;
*tmp = 0;
line = tmp+1;
if (*line == ':') {
argc++;
break;
}
}
argv[argc++] = line;
argv[argc] = NULL;
