Infinite loop between services(Anope) and Unreal 3.2.4.

This(Sunday) morning, Unreal booted Anope off the server for exceeding SendQ. After much consulting the FAQ and Documentation, I increased the SendQ in unrealircd.conf and bufferpools in ./Config. All was alright, but after a minute or so, I found services became extremely laggy, and a couple of minutes later, Unreal booted it off again for exceeding Max SendQ. Gave the server a restart, fired everything back up again, and did the same again. I used -nofork and -debug switches to start Anope and the screen streamed with the following:

Terra is a bot. After recreating the Anope databases to track down the source of the problem, I could register my nick, channels, oper up, and create a bot. The second I assigned a bot to a channel, Anope and Unreal would go into an infinite loop until SendQ again. I've searched the board, and the FAQ/Documentation for ways to stop unreal from applying -oh after Anope sends +ao without any luck, partially due to not knowing exactly what to look for, but is there a way to prevent Unreal from removing modes Anope applies?

Thanks much in advance.

Do you have your Services listed in the U:Line block?

I do believe this is supposed to prevent it from being kicked as such like its a regular client isn't it?

Heh, I feel quite ashamed now. Just realised right above my U:Lines there was an extra '};' just after the link block. After correcting it, I went ahead and tried assigning the bot to the channel, with success. Doesn't matter how long you've been playing with programs and scripts, we still always end up placing something that shouldn't be in there. Mistakes are what make us human I guess. Wish I saw it before though. I apologise for not realising before. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the ULines, else I might not have seen it so quickly.
