Initially I also thought of this possibility and went to consult RFC 1459 about the PING/PONG commands. I didn't see written anywhere, that the IRC daemon needs to return the exact data given in the PING.
Anyway, the main reason I posted about this problem was my confusion, that it seemingly occurred with mIRC 6.17 out of the blue.
I guess we'll see if Khaled can or even want to take a look at this. I could live with the workaround. And since this mIRC/psyBNC issue is documented on the messageboard now, others can find it easily.
