Dear Bug Team!
Thank you for XEmacs! It is an excellent tool. The new 21.5.27 with
Xft is pretty to look at, too.
I have an interesting bug which I've long observed in previous versions of
XEmacs and previous versions of ERC, but only recently did I narrow down
exactly how to trigger it.
It goes like this: sometimes when I run erc-server-select, instead of
connecting, it shows in the minibuffer a message like this: "Wrong type
argument: natnump, -2410080708790921301". The number sometimes changes
(and on 32-bit computers the number is generally smaller). If I re-run
erc-server-select a few times then eventually it works.
Yesterday I figured out how to make this problem go away -- comment out
the contents of my .xemacs/custom.el -- and then I figured out how to
reliably make the problem come back:
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:size "12pt" :family "Lucida"))) t)
'(erc-input-face ((t (:foreground "#777777"))))
'(whitespace-visual-blank-face ((t (:background "#BFBFBF"))))
'(whitespace-visual-tab-face ((t (:background "#B0B0C0")))))
...
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:size "11" :family "DejaVu Sans Mono"))) t))
Having two different calls to custom-set-faces causes ERC to have this
problem when connecting! I find it fascinating to imagine how this
could be.
This custom.el does *not* trigger the bug:
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:size "12pt" :family "Lucida"))) t)
'(default ((t (:size "11" :family "DejaVu Sans Mono"))) t)
'(erc-input-face ((t (:foreground "#777777"))))
'(whitespace-visual-blank-face ((t (:background "#BFBFBF"))))
'(whitespace-visual-tab-face ((t (:background "#B0B0C0")))))
Well, I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me for more experimentation
or debugging if you have trouble reproducing this bug.
Regards,
Zooko
