IRC Error.

[kerryandjane]

Expected behaviour:

1. Watch the IRC announce channel of my irc network and parse results.
2. Maintain the IRC nickname I choose.

Actual behaviour:

1. I get error messages in the logs related to IRC that don't give much information.
   Failed to parse message. Skipping: ��À�PÂ�úÌ�À�

2. My IRC name keeps changing. In the logs I get a warning error message that my nickname is in use and it adds "_" to the end of my nickname. No other warnings or messages in the logs. Shortly after that I'm banned from the IRC network i'm in for an illegal name change.

Steps to reproduce:

1. I get the message regularly throughout the day without any changes to config and the status of the irc remains "alive".
2. Error happens without warning or changes about every 3 days. Temporary fix is to restart the irc connection or flexget.
