Anonymous username continually changes.

The anonymous username continuously changes and it will not use my drupal username as a phpfreechat username. I fixed it by changing:

phpfreechat.module line 366
if ($user->uid == 0) {
phpfreechat.module line 370
$params['nick'] = $user->name; // setup the intitial nickname

it was using $target->uid and $target->name is there a reason for this? It did not work this way.
