Herfel, I can partly confirm it. On my first try the exact same happened to me. Second and third test didn't work due to a connection refused. Fourth attempt worked:
/whois alex 18:54 -!- ircname : Alexander W. Janssen 18:54 -!- : is connecting from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 81.169.183.148 81.169.183.148 -> GatewayToHeaven 5th attempt: Connection refused. 6th - 10th: Connection worked. I tried to run strace on the irssi-process but that didn't work (Unable to connect server irc.mozilla.org port 6697 [Broken pipe]) - I guess this is a sideeffect of tsocks preloading other libraries. No idea how to truss/strace it. Interestingly the problem you're describing only happens every now and then on my machine: $ uname -a Linux castor 2.6.16-2-686-smp #1 SMP Mon Aug 21 12:29:28 CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux $ cat /etc/debian_version 3.1 $ irssi --version irssi 0.8.10 (20051211 0941) Sorry, I don't think I can help any further. Maybe you're lucky and this is only a temporary error occuring every now and then. Otherwise contacting the irssi-maintainers could be a start.
