Package: erc
Version: 5.3-1
Severity: normal
I connect to freenode.net using M-x erc-tls. I accept irc.freenode.net
for the IRC server, change the port to 6697, enter my user name and leave
the password blank (I've configured automatic identification to NickServ).
It connects fine and just works.
Then, when my ISP resets my Internet connection (once every 2 days), I
want ERC to automatically reconnect. It does seem to try that, but it
doesn't succeed. Instead it repeats the following message every minute
while the connection is down, and a few dozen times every 4 minutes when
the network connection is back up.
Connection failed! Re-establishing connection...
>From when the message first shows up, Emacs no longer responds to input
(e.g. C-x C-c, C-x b). The only input that has any effect C-g C-g,
which stops the Emacs job and gives control back to Bash. (I should
mention that I'm new to Emacs and only know a few commands and key
combinations.) When I get the process back with 'fg' it first asks
"Auto-save? (y or n)" to which I answer "n". Then it asks
"Abort (and dump core)? (y or n)" to which I answer "y" (because with
"n" it says "Continuing..." and just hangs there). It exits
with the message "Fatal error (6)Aborted", followed by any showing the
keys I may have pressed while it was "re-establishing connection".
