bug#5966: 23.1.95; rcirc creates thousands of temp buffers

[Leo]

I got an emacs session running 1day 12 hours and I have 2030 buffers
like the following. These buffers gave me a bad feeling and I even
suspected emacs was attacked. It seems they are created by
rcirc-get-temp-buffer-create.

Hi Ryan,

Could you look into this problem?  Thanks.

I cannot reproduce this here.

Leo, what server was this on?

These buffers are created when the server is sending out the NAMES for
a channel (response 353), and is killed when the server responds with
a 366 to signify the end of names.

Hello Ryan,

It was on freenode. Unfortunately I don't know what triggers it but it
did happen.

In rcirc-handler-332 and rcirc-handler-333, the created TMP buffer is
not killed. Do we need to patch it so that its TMP buffer is gc'd?

BTW, I have only have two occurrences of this bug and still have no
recipe to reproduce it. I remember it happened when I killed some rcirc
buffer.

Is this still happening sometimes?  Any news?  Can we close it?
