Research direction
The issue lacks details about the exact command used and the expected behavior. Start by examining the IRC module in the hydra source code (likely `hydra irc.c`). Verify if the module supports the syntax provided (e.g., ` l ID p PASS irc`). Check for any known limitations or bugs in the IRC protocol implementation. Review the 4 comments in the issue for any additional context provided by maintainers or other users.
