After digging into the code a bit, I've come up with a solution. The
following patch should fix the problem described in the orignial
post. This is due to Emacs's 'pop-to-buffer' implies selecting that
buffer, but ECB's adviced version does do this, which causes all
subsequent commands get sent to the wrong buffer.
