Its not like that.  The problem is that you connect too fast for your  
client.
As nicknames are *not* unique in SILC, if your client still knows  
about the last incarnation of your bot, and you connect quickly  
enough with a new instance, the new instance will get the hostname  
appended.
Only way to fix this is to not start another instance of your bot  
until the first one is truly unregistered.
