First I will post some log messages and later I will explain a bit about it:

I don't suppose you could gather some insight using ethereal, tcpdump or other packet-sniffer?

Also, strace might be able to provide some insight in what is going on.

Oh, also, I assume you don't have any custom scripts loaded that might interfere?

Well, I have running various scripts, but none should cause a thing "server hopping" or "log censorship". Also the same scripts ran on the old server.

PS: about the tcpdump or packet-sniffer, I'd first have to ask the owner about. Or can these be run on user level?

Edit:
I interviewed one of the other eggdrop users, addional facts came up:
- he also compiled 1.6.18, but not static
- since I happen to have also have a modular compilation of the same source, I switched using this one using symlinks which lead to the same unwelcome behavior
- even using his binaries didn't change the result
- the TCL his bot uses, is the same as the one mine uses (verified using ldd and .status). Also I couldn't find another TCL being installed on the server.

Edit2:
After realizing it MUST be something with the scripts loaded, I investigated a little and remembered I wrote a "dirty hack"-script for jump the server in case it entered the wrong network. However it seemed I never uploaded that script on the server, at least it came out I forgot the magic "!" in an if statement making the bot jump on the 001 message... CALL ME A FOOL !!!

One of the very few things that possibly comes to mind is that the kill_server function within the server-module is triggered upon eacy connect, tho I cannot start imagine why that would occur.

As for packet-sniffing, you would generally need root-privileges, unless your shell admin is nuts :p

Kinda sounds like you've ruled out all sources but your scripts. Tried removing them to see wether it works, then loading them one at a time until the error reoccurs?
