Subject: 24.3.50; erc-button fails with error
Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2013 22:43:58 +0000

I started "erc" with M-x erc RET.  

In an erc buffer, I moved point onto a nick that appeared at the left margin.

I typed RET whois RET.

I expected to see a message like this appear in the erc buffer:

        *** fledermaus is Vivek Dasmohapatra (~vivek <at> 87-127-114-209.static.enta.net)

Instead, I saw in the echo area:

         eval: Symbol's value as variable is void: nick

After some back-and-forth with fledermaus, I wound up deleting the ``-*-
lexical-binding:t -*-`` from the top of erc-button.el, recompiling and
reloading that file ... and that made it work again.  I don't understand
why.

Try this instead:

That indeed works.  What does that tell us?
