On irc this is called a NetSplit. Its been a problem for over a
decade.Each new rev of the servers seems to fix parts of the split
problem. Now adadys a split will happen but merger takes places with
inminuets, not the half hours it used to take.
(also, there were lots of "fun" things you could do in a split sitiuation
that have been coded out:( )
As always its yet another case of "napster, why bother when theres xxxx to
be used"
