Severity: normal

bip (an IRC proxy) drops tircd connections after roughly 10 minutes.
bip logs show that bip is closing the connections because tircd's ping
responses have lagged out.
bip uses PONG replies (and only PONG replies) from IRC servers to
determine whether bip's connection to the server has lagged out.
bip's definition of a valid PONG reply is an IRC line containing three
IRCwords, which has been satisfied by every IRC server I have seen so far,
until tircd. tircd's PONG response contains only two IRCwords.
This patch inserts a server hostname argument ('tircd') into PONG
responses, which keeps bip (and any other software that actually cares
about the syntax of PONG responses) happy.
