can't read "rp_kcount ... "

I got this in DCC with a bot today (repeat.tcl):

<Enfield> [06:44] Tcl error in script for 'timer42396':
<Enfield> [06:44] can't read "rp_bcount(xander@219.95.186.144:#netserv:is away. reason:(out) since:(19:42:57) xÅÑN ?ÇrÎþt)": no such element in array

This was repeated 3 times then ceased. I guess the away message that was being repeated (that caused the error) was turned off.

If I could hazard a guess, I would say it is eggdrop's issues with special characters infecting the utimer command. If that's the case, I'd probably have to switch over to a timestamp based mechanism; there's one I wrote one for sentinel a few years back that I may be able to just slot in. But I won't get time to look at it until next weekend.

Perhaps you can get the exact away message from your log so that it can be used for reproducing the problem.

[06:44] Tcl error in script for 'timer42396':
[06:44] can't read "rp_bcount(xander@219.95.186.144:#netserv:is away. reason:(out) since:(19:42:57) 4,1xÅÑN ?ÇrÎþt)": no such element in array
[06:44] Tcl error in script for 'timer42397':
[06:44] can't read "rp_kcount(xander@219.95.186.144:#netserv:is away. reason:(out) since:(19:42:57) 4,1xÅÑN ?ÇrÎþt)": no such element in array
[06:47] Tcl error in script for 'timer42398':
[06:47] can't read "rp_scount(xander@219.95.186.144:#netserv:is away. reason:(out) since:(19:42:57) 4,1xÅÑN ?ÇrÎþt)": no such element in array

The above (from the log) is all I have.

This section:

4,1xÅÑN ?ÇrÎþt

looks like this: xÅÑN ?ÇrÎþt

I tested this today with my bot, and the string you gave (with colour codes and funny characters) didn't cause an error in repeat.tcl.

Maybe it's a Unicode-related issue on your bot.

maybe you try to get the real string with a raw connection from putty or something like this. knowing the troublesome character, there might be a solution to regsub it or something like that.

Seems it just may have been one of those 'quirky' events as I have not detected another incident.
