bug#14625: Erc nick coloring broken

[Antoine Levitt]

Hi,

I use option 2 + option 3 from
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ErcNickColors to color nicknames of
people in ERC. I updated to trunk recently, and nick coloring broke (I
only get plain old white). I bisected it to

    * erc/erc-backend.el: Require erc at run-time too (silences compilation)

I think a bad interaction develops because I use erc-timestamp with
erc-hide-timestamps set to t. What seems to happen is that the while
loop in "option 3" seems to be stuck inside the timestamp region, and
never goes around to coloring the text.

I have tried to debug it but failed, as I have no idea as to what
exactly this commit does. Any pointers on how I should proceed?

TIA
Antoine

Can you post a recipe for how to reproduce this bug?  That is, starting
from "emacs -Q", what settings do you do, and what's the expected result?

Frankly, it was a very long time ago, I don't remember the bug, and I don't
even use ERC anymore, so if nobody else complains, you can close the bug
report.
