<delYsid> I used (concat ": " reason) which is much simpler [14:22]
<fledermaus> hm. [14:23]
<fledermaus> heh, good point.
<fledermaus> actually, does that always work? [14:24]
<fledermaus> that's still going to generate a format-spec template with a
             stray % in it, is it not? [14:25]
<fledermaus> or am I missing something?
*** lisppaste (n=lisppast@common-lisp.net) has quit: Remote closed the
    connection
*** specbot (n=specbot@common-lisp.net) has quit: Remote closed the connection
<delYsid> no, why should it? [14:26]
<fledermaus> because reason contains a %?
<delYsid> (format "%s" "%a %b") => "%a %b"
<fledermaus> erc-message-english-PART returns a string which is used as a
             format-spec template. [14:27]
<delYsid> no
<delYsid> it returns the complete formatted string
<delYsid> comprendes? [14:29]
<fledermaus> (erc-retrieve-catalog-entry msg) => erc-message-english-PART
                                                                        [14:31]

<fledermaus> either I'm wrong there, or you are.

<fledermaus> that code is from erc-format-message [14:33]
<twb> Good heavens.  Apparently the Flinders Streeet train station has an
      upstairs *ballroom* in it.
<fledermaus> twb: well one can't expect the first class passengers to make
             their own entertainement while waiting, can one? [14:34]
<fledermaus> delYsid: I believe an examination of a backtrace once the error
             has been trggered will support my view of the bug. [14:35]
<fledermaus> I guess you're busy.
