[Adrian, since this affects ERC, too, would you please take a look at this patch? It's correct in theory, but I don't know anything about ERC.] Nelson Ferreira writes: Yes; you should have received the resend by now. Very sorry about that! Thanks! I've taken a look at ERC. I have no idea what they think they're doing here in erc-log.el: ;;;functionality referenced from erc.el (defun erc-log-setup-logging () "Setup the buffer-local logging variables in the current buffer. This function is destined to be run from `erc-connect-pre-hook'." (when (erc-logging-enabled) (auto-save-mode -1) (setq buffer-offer-save t buffer-file-name "") ;; code continues ... The empty string looks very suspicious, I can't see how anything good might come of it. I propose changing it to nil and setq'ing buffer-file-truename to nil, too, to maintain the invariant. If that doesn't work, you might need to change it to something like (setq buffer-offer-save t buffer-file-name (erc-current-logfile buffer) buffer-file-truename (file-truename buffer-file-name)) or you could try (setq buffer-offer-save t buffer-file-name "" buffer-file-truename (file-truename buffer-file-name)) but it all seems very hackish.
