Thanks for the report.  I've fixed this in upstream ERC, and will merge
to Emacs trunk shortly.  I decided to use the number 6667 instead of a
string.  The reason that we don't want to use ircd there is that Mac OS
X is unable to look up that particular service (IIRC).  I remember
getting at least one report about it.
