This shouldn't happen. X is currently not online, and I get the standard
"No such nick" message when I try. It's possible that you did the /whois
at exactly the time that X was splitting off; it's also possible that your
client transmuted the /whois into a /whowas, but I don't know if mIRC does
that. Of course, there's also the possibility that the SQUIT and your
PRIVMSG crossed, which is something that must always be considered.
