A deeper check revealed that this only happens when I connect two ERC,
running on two different boxes, to my IRC proxy (i.e. bip).

Is there a way to hide such messages in ERC, or should it be
considered as a bip bug ?

If needed, I could try with other concurrent IRC clients, to see
whether this only happens with ERC.

Bye,
