EQBC: -- -- LOGIN<charname> has joined the server.
I had a weird thing happen today. As I was logging my group into EQ, EQBC didn't parse the correct character name.

Instead of:
-- Grumble has joined the server.

I saw:
-- -- LOGINGrumble has joined the server.

Issue:
Every time I tried to send /bc, /bca or /bcaa commands, I would see them being sent by LOGINGrumble. This can mess up macros and plugins because the name reported by EQBC (LOGINGrumble) isn't the same as the name reported in game to any client (Grumble).

Solution:
Logging out to character select then logging back in fixed the issue. EQBC reported the correct name after that.

This is the first time I've seen it happen and I don't see similar reports when I searched. I don't expect it's a code issue. This is more of a "If this happens to you, this is what you should do to fix it" post.

I have caused it to happen many times when loading and unloading various toons and plugins and such when testing things. But during normal login/play I have only seen it happen once or twice.

/bccmd reconnect should also temp fix that issue.
