Applies to 26.3, but also to all more recent versions as well.

Bug trigger:
1. Load ERC (e.g., open some IRC connection).
2. Open some channel or query, to have another ERC buffer.
3. Quit the server.
4. Make sure to kill the server buffer, if still there.
5. Launch ibuffer (e.g., type "M-x ibuffer"). Display stops mid-line on a line 
listing some ERC buffer linked to the quit server. Further buffer updates 
(typing 'g') trigger a crash for another reason (another fix to follow-up).

Root cause:
The erc-ibuffer's server column code will return nil in this case, since
the buffer associated to its process has been killed, making the server
information inacessible, and this is not tested properly.

Patch:
Attached.

Subject: [PATCH] ERC: Fix ERC's IBuffer format "crash" on killed server buffer

* lisp/erc/erc-ibuffer.el (erc-server-name): Fix a crash when
displaying (or updating) an IBuffer buffer using ERC's first IBuffer
format.  This happens when one ERC buffer has its associated server
buffer killed, e.g., voluntarily or automatically after server
disconnection when `erc-kill-server-buffer-on-quit' is set to t.  The
culprit is the "Server" column, which returns nil in this case.
Display "(closed)" instead.
