Lines sent to Relay (v2.06 and before) that begin with a '*' will be
sent to the Relay's console log.  I believe that v2.06b and up no
longer do this.  I am assuming that the line beginning with the '*'
is sent out to the channel.  The reason "/m foo *hug*" works is
that Relay sees the '/' as the first character, not the '*'.

And yes, Purdue is running 2.06 code, which is why this happens to you.

This is how I learned to (*hug*) ;-)
