erc-open-ssl-stream: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

[intrigeri]

Hello,

[I'm not subscribed to emacs-pretest-bug list, please Cc: me]

after upgrading from my one-month-old Romain Françoise's
emacs-snapshot (1:20070302-1) + Debian sid's ERC (5.1.4-4) to the
brand new Romain's package (1:20051124-1) with ERC 5.2 included, I can
not connect to IRC anymore ; running erc-ssl fails, saying :

erc-open-ssl-stream: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

I digged a bit into the code, and found that my issue disappears if
I hack the erc-server-connect function to replace :

    (let ((process (funcall erc-server-connect-function
                            (format "erc-%s-%s" server port)
                            nil server port)))

with :

    (let ((process (funcall erc-server-connect-function
                            (format "erc-%s-%s" server port)
                            buffer server port)))

Hint : I'm using gnutls instead of the default starttls, thanks to the
following lines in my .emacs :

(when (locate-library "ssl") (require 'ssl))
(when (locate-library "starttls")
  (require 'starttls)
  (when (boundp 'starttls-gnutls-program)
    ; use gnutls as it performs more verification of the certificates
    (setq starttls-use-gnutls
          (if (executable-find starttls-gnutls-program) t nil))))
