Anonymous users keep having their names changed, automatical

[jbeazell]

I'm not sure what's going on here, but I have the security set to allow anonymous users to enter in to the general ; default chat room... However, every 4-5 seconds, the anonymous user's name changes to something else :

from the chat window:
