The identifier $eval() returns an error message when trying to evaluate a variable that has a single parenthesis in its name.

Example:

Join any channel with a single parenthesis in its name, like '#test(test'.

In the channel editbox, paste (without the quotation marks) '//var -s %test $+ # value | echo -a $eval($+(%,test,#),2)' and press enter.

The script should return 'value', instead it returns this error 'Invalid format: $evalnext'.

I'm using mIRC 6.03 with windows 98.

Same here with 98SE and XP.
