this addresses the bug mentioned at
http://www.webfroot.co.nz/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=510

okay, the lengths of the IP addresses being compared
are sometimes different. one is padded on the right
with spaces.

the fix is simple, try this in shoutbox.php:

the line that is
if (($shouts['ipaddress'] == $REMOTE_ADDR) &&
($shouts['time'] > time()-$deletetime)) { //

change to

if ((chop($shouts['ipaddress']) == chop($REMOTE_ADDR))
&& ($shouts['time'] > time()-$deletetime)) { //

it works here for me.
