Hi Fernando,

Another possibility I've been kicking around is (optionally) running DCC
GET operations in a subprocess. Attached is a POC (patch #4), which I'm
hoping you'll try. Unfortunately, like patch #2, I believe it'll only
apply cleanly on newer Emacs versions. (You'll also be needing to set
the option `erc-dcc-get-use-subprocess' to t.) Depending on the outcome
of your pcap experiment, this (or some improved version) may be our only
practical way forward. Thanks.
