SYMPTOMS

This problem occurs with the Chat Service. The RecvTextA interface for channel services is broken for IRC/IRCX connections. It still works with MIC. For example, you have a Channel Service that watches for profanity in messages. A RecvTextA call is made for every message sent by an MIC user, but it is not generated if the user sending the message is using either IRC or IRCX.
