nick reserved/remembered by server...timeout?

Please bear with me, as I'm a newbie to the SILC toolkit.  I'm working on 
a bot for SILC, using the template "mybot" that came with the toolkit. 
As I'm testing, I kill and restart the bot often.  Whenever I restart the 
bot, the server seems to "remember" a recent connection and the bot nick 
gets set but you can't msg the bot itself without specifying the hostname 
too.  (I presume since the server remembers a recent client connection 
with the same nick)

Example.

Start bot named "foo"
/msg foo something
foobot does something in return

<kill foobot>

Start bot named "foo"
Nick is "foo" but '/msg foo something' returns:
 	*** foobot: There is no such client
But if I do:
 	/msg foo@hostname something
then it works as expected.

So, as the server operator (with no router connections), is there a way I 
can do something so the "foo" namespace clears before I restart the bot?

I apologize for probably using the wrong terminology, but as I said, I'm a 
newb.  It's ok if you want to respond to me with RTFM, but that wouldn't 
be as helpful.  Cheers, and thanks!

-Mike
