From: Tom Tromey <tromey <at> redhat.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: bug#4589: 23.1; ERC reconnection -vs- /disconnect Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:09:20 -0600
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: One irc server I use went down and was unavailable. ERC kept trying to reconnect to it -- which is nice, ordinarily I want this. However, in this case, I wanted to prevent ERC from trying to reconnect. So, I went to the server buffer and typed /disconnect. This did not work, instead ERC gave me an error message (which I no longer have but the gist was that there was no connection). I think /disconnect should work to prevent reconnection in this situation. Instead, the only solution I found was to kill the server buffer. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
