* bug#5650: 23.1; ERC causes Emacs to hang on network dropouts

When my network connection drops out, ERC loses its connection and
attempts to reconnect. I see the message "connecting to server
irc.freenode.net 6777..." in the minibuffer and Emacs becomes
unresponsive.

netstat tells me that the Emacs process has a TCP socket in the
SYN_SENT state to freenode.net.

I found today that, if left for a long time (not sure how long, but <
2 hours [which was the amount of time I left my computer unattended]
and > ~10 minutes [which was the amount of time I fiddled with it last
time it happened]), it evetually gives up and Emacs becomes responsive
again.

The patch is a little broken - would have fixed it earlier but mu HD
exploded and I've been resurrecting my laptop from backups.

Will fix shortly.

The patch works for me (even if there is still a small freeze during
about 1 second at the connection if the server doesn't answer), but
creates an issue with the auto reconnect feature.

It happens when the server doesn't answer the connection request (tested
with a DROP on packets coming from it with iptables).

The patch makes the function erc-server-connect to return even if the
connection is not ready. Then erc-open and erc-server-reconnect do the
same.

Finally, in erc-process-sentinel-2, there is no error executing
erc-server-reconnect, thus erc-server-reconnect-count is never
incremented and is even reset.

I made a patch that increments erc-server-reconnect-count before calling
erc-server-reconnect instead, and resets it only when the connection is
really ready, that is, in erc-connection-established.

Hi,

Could someone please review this patch by Thomas Riccardi and Vivek
Dasmohapatra?  The full description of the problem can be viewed at

Hi, I have been experiencing this issue, and am currently testing out the
patches in this thread. I was wondering if there's anything I can do to
help move this along, as it's a big problem for anyone with a flaky IRC
connection.

The patches looked OK to me.  I've applied them to the Emacs trunk
now -- I think we can consider this "new functionality" and not a bug
fix.  It seems to work for me, but I guess time will tell..
