problem with /msg

Hi,

  When I send a /msg to someone, the display contains the name of the
channel I'm in rather than the name of the target of the message.  e.g:

/msg so-n-so hello there

  Circe displays:

-> *#emacs* hello there

  I have not changed the value of circe-format-self-message.  It is the
default value, "-> *{target}* {body}".  I'm puzzled.  Any help?

circe-version: "from CVS (2008-11-22 13:20:27)"
