I'm seeing this issue frequently under 0.18 here, with somewhat more
dire implications. I've got xchat-gnome configured to connect via ssl to
a proxy with a password. When this auto-reconnect bug pops up, it'll
switch ports, or sometimes even the hostname, and disable ssl. As a
consequence, sensitive authentication information is suddenly being sent
via cleartext to a remote server without my prompting. To me this makes
it a pretty serious security issue.
