Description

When Smuxi connects to a BIP server (an IRC bouncer) the connection crashes with the following exception:
2010-07-28 11:58:04,615 [IrcProtocolManager (balthasar:4912) listener] ERROR Smuxi.Engine.IrcProtocolManager - _Run(): exception in _Listen() occurred!

I could track the issue down in the SmartIrc4net code that parses the IRC messsage:
http://git.qnetp.net/?p=smartirc4net.git;a=blob;f=src/IrcClient/IrcClient.cs;h=df79f68c6fd872dafe1adcb949c1094982814d5d;hb=HEAD#l832

The parser expects that an IRC message always contains nick, user and host at the same which might be not true according to the IRC "http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2812.html":RFC2812 which states:
prefix     =  servername / ( nickname [ [ "!" user ] "@" host ] )

This means the nick or nick + host or nick + user + host can be present.
BIP only sends the nick in this case which leads to the crash:
:jonp NICK jonp-smuxi

Another BIP specific issue popped up, but this time BIP is violating the IRC RFCs, example:
:b.i.p 353 jonp @ ##dblinq jonp

The IRC RFCs define the colon after the channel as mandatory.
SmartIrc4net needs a hack for this issue.
