Hi. I'm using a very recent build of emacs from the VCS. With this build
ERC gets very confused if global-subword-mode is on. I believe it worked
fine just a few months ago.

Recipe:

1. emacs -Q
2. (global-subword-mode)
3. M-x erc
4. Default values for the server, nickname, password, etc are fine to
show the issue

I observe the following two error repeated many times:

error in process filter: erc-button-add-nickname-buttons: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil
error in process filter: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil

ERC kinda works even with those issues, but the data comes back from the
server sporadically and it's not really usable.
