This is now fixed in the release-0-20-fixes branch. Turned out to be related 
to the us-cable-irc (in my case) frequency tables being out of whack just 
enough to throw off the scanner. Of course, I don't know exactly why it used 
to work and stopped working, but...

Big thanks to Janne Grunau for putting up with me/helping me sort through some 
bad hardware and umpteen changesets to track down the fix, and thanks to Mike 
Dean for writing the patches to begin with (they've been in svn trunk for a 
few months now).
