ICQ user search broken

Hi,

I'm using centericq 4.21.0 on Debian Sarge (x86), and for some reason
the "Find/add users" function does not work anymore for quite some time
now: After starting the search with "Search/Add" in the "Find/add users"
dialogue, the search returns after a while with "Search results [done]"
and zero resulting contacts, even if I search for a UIN which I know
surely exists.

I also tried to grab the current CVS version to check whether this is
fixed there, but do-cvs-build.centericq.sh stalled on
"* running cicqsync checkout:" in a waitpid() call. The child process
(gettextize) still waits in a "read(0,"... Is the repository server in
some kind of trouble?

Is the ICQ search problem known, any fixes yet, anyone who can reproduce
this? The only threads I found about this were
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.centericq/474/focus=480 ,
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.centericq/1167/focus=1167 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.centericq/719/focus=720 , but at
this time (back in 2003) the search still worked well for me, so I'm not
sure whether this is related.

Some additional remarks:

*  Creating a directory with the (known) UIN in ~/.centericq/ works as a
   workaround, but is not really satisfying (why have a Search/add
   feature at all if it does not work?). 

*  Starting with a clean .centericq directory does not change the
   erratic behaviour.

Kind regards,
 Horst
