[SoaS] IRC.activity in soas-3-20100319 a working fix as it will not start as shipped

[Mel Chua]

Thanks for the report, Tom - I'm a bit swamped with work at the moment 
but will be trying to set aside time for IRC Activity maintenance (long 
overdue, heh) sometime this weekend when I get through my $dayjob backlog.

Could you do me a favor and put this in Trac on 
http://dev.sugarlabs.org? (Mark the component as "Irc"). That way it'll 
pop up on my list when I sit down to fix the Activity. I can't promise 
that I'll be able to get to this and fix it, but I'll be giving those 
tickets a shot at some point soon.

Keeping the SoaS list in Cc here because I'm not sure whether this is a 
SoaS bug or an IRC.activity bug or some compatibility-between-the-two 
thing, and we need to figure out a good workflow between Activity 
tickets and SoaS tickets when they intersect like this.
