Accidentally pasting (and thereafter sending) large amounts of data on 
an IRC server will in many cases cause you to either be disconnected due 
to "excess flood" and in other cases, where some anti-flood client 
setting prevents that, just cause lots of disruption in the IRC channel.

Having said that: I don't really know how suitable this patch is.
