Hey there, I've ran into an odd issue when the Q module is enabled.

You have to message Q twice to get output (for example, with msg q whoami)

This has been tested with mIRC 7.29, mIRC 7.32, irssi v0.8.15, on znc versions 1.2-3~precise0, and 1.2

To reproduce, simply connect to your bouncer, enable the Q module, and message Q any command. In my case, WHOAMI. You would have to message the bot twice to get a response. This seems to work in turns (once you receive the message, the next one won't be received).

For what it's worth, here is the mIRC debug logs.

-> blacklotus.ca.us.quakenet.org PRIVMSG q :whoami
-> blacklotus.ca.us.quakenet.org PRIVMSG q :whoami
<- :Q!TheQBot@CServe.quakenet.org NOTICE Zarthus :-Information for user Zarthus (using account BuuGhost):
[snipped personal data]
<- :Q!TheQBot@CServe.quakenet.org NOTICE Zarthus :End of list.

And normal IRC logs

(21:07:17) <-*status> Loaded module [q] [/usr/local/lib/znc/q.so]
(21:07:21) -> *q* whoami
(21:07:22) -Q- -Information for user Zarthus (using account BuuGhost):
...
(21:07:22) -Q- End of list.
(21:07:23) -> *q* whoami
(21:07:25) -> *q* whoami
(21:07:25) -Q- -Information for user Zarthus (using account BuuGhost):
...
(21:07:25) -Q- End of list.

Gist of znc in debug mode, it doesn't add a whole lot.

I have the same issue, running 1.2-3~precise0 and irssi 0.8.15. I noticed that the logfile of the conversation with Q receives the answers of Q even when the client does not. As it seems, every first command's responses get eaten, every thirds, fifths and so on.
