Many thanks for noticing. /xolirc is a subpackage of xowiki. On the weekend, i made an upgrade of xotcl-core and xowiki on openacs.org to the most recent version (from 0.112 to 0.144). xolirc is a custom package on openacs.org, which has some copied files from xowiki, that caused troubles.
It is fixed now.
