rcirc fails to authenticate with bitlbee

[Dieter Deyke]

In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2006-04-20 on DEYKE1
X server distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4)'

rcirc fails to authenticate with bitlbee.  The error message is:

08:36 *** 401 &bitlbee Nick does not exist

The following patch fixes the problem for me:

*** old-rcirc.el        Sun Apr 23 08:30:37 2006
--- new-rcirc.el        Sun Apr 23 08:31:03 2006

                 (rcirc-send-string
                  process
!                 (concat "PRIVMSG &bitlbee :identify " (car args))))
                (t
                 (message "No %S authentication method defined"
                          method))))))))
