Hmm... Looks like you're right and that the user_info function is broken
as all heck.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
IRC::register("my script", "1.0", "", "");

IRC::add_command_handler("spoolie", "spoolie");

sub spoolie {
  my ($nick) = @_;
  IRC::print("Zoobie: $nick");
  my @info = IRC::user_info("$nick");
  $targetip = $info[1];
  IRC::print("Zoobah: $targetip");
}

I just tried the above with 2.0.3 and in channel context I get the uhost
of the first user in the channel list.  In a query context I get back
diddly-squat.  

/me goes to get CVS source.
