One issue I've seen is that, if you block the user process in Squeak,
e.g. to download a few hunder email messages, then the client can drop
PING's and thus get disconnected.  I don't know if this is what others
are seeing -- I haven't done IRC in a while.

Note that this is not a scenario that happens while you are actively
chatting; it happens when you do something else that blocks the UI.

Incidentally, it would be very nice if the client could reconnect you
to a server and have you join all the rooms you were in when you left....
