Hi, Here is the error I occasionally encounter on a web IRC client running with the IRC framework:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'indexOf')
at Object.parseMask (/home/debian/node/.../server/libs/irc-framework-modded/src/helpers.js:20:23)

The client (server-side with the IRC framework) crashes. It doesn't happen often, on average about once a month.

About a month and a half ago, I updated to the latest version of the IRC framework. Just before that, for at least a solid year, here's how the code that causes the error was modified in helper.js. So, here's the original code:

    const sep1 = mask.indexOf('!');
    const sep2 = mask.indexOf('@');

To prevent it from crashing, I used to add this:

    //const sep1 = mask.indexOf('!');
    const sep1 = (mask || '').indexOf('!');
    //const sep2 = mask.indexOf('@');
    const sep2 = (mask || '').indexOf('@');

I've kept the original code since the last update.

I don't know how to reproduce the bug, nor how it happens.
