I don't think my patch is moving any major functionality to
erc-process-sentinel.  It is, however, causing me to experience a
problem.

When I /QUIT from a server and then reconnect to it later, Emacs (the
CVS version) flashes the visual bell at me so fast that it causes
Emacs to lock up.  It won't respond to any keystrokes.

It looks like the unpatched version of erc doesn't cause this
behavior, so I advise the erc maintainers to hold off on applying the
patch until I can sort out the problems.
