[erlang-questions] Strange error with client/server IRC code

[bbrown]

This is some IRC code (this is your code orbitz if you are on); that whenever
when I call these type methods I get an error.  I dont have the error so this
post might be a little worthless right now; I am on a different environment
and going by memory.  But, basically the error is with the handle_cast
function.  It looks like it is not reaching any of the "handle_cast" calls. 
How do those work.  Sorry, when I get home, I will provide a little bit more
information.

----
    send_client_command(Irclib, "JOIN", [Channel, Pass]);
join(Irclib, Channel) when list(Channel) ->
	io:format("trace: join@~p~n", [Channel]),
	%% TODO: remove test code
    send_client_command(Irclib, "JOIN").

handle_cast(irc_connect, #state{client=Client, state=disconn} = State) ->
    {ok, Sock} = connect_to_next_server(Client),
    {noreply, State#state{sock=Sock, state=connecting}};
handle_cast({irc_send_command, {"PING"}}, #state{sock=Sock, client=Client} =
State) ->
    send_command(Sock, {"PING", [dict_proc:fetch(nick, Client)]}),
    {noreply, State};
handle_cast({irc_send_command, {"NICK", [Nick]}}, #state{sock=Sock,
client=Client} = State) ->
    send_command(Sock, {"NICK", [Nick]}),
    dict_proc:store(nick, Nick, Client),
    {noreply, State};
