I think this bug should be reopened.  RFC 2812 ("Internet Relay Chat:
Client Protocol") states:

  IRC messages are always lines of characters terminated with a CR-LF
   (Carriage Return - Line Feed) pair, and these messages SHALL NOT
   exceed 512 characters in length, counting all characters including
   the trailing CR-LF. Thus, there are 510 characters maximum allowed
   for the command and its parameters.  There is no provision for
   continuation of message lines.  See section 6 for more details about
   current implementations.

The earlier RFC 1459 also says the same thing.
