AIM connections getting dropped

I have big problems using AIM with centericq (4.21.0, Linux). After about 
5 minutes of inactivity, the connection to the AIM server seems to go 
inactive, and stops receiving incoming events.

Centericq still shows me online (or away, etc), and other contacts still 
see me online, but I do not receive messages they send (though the 
contacts themselves do not see any errors). Also, if one of my contacts 
changes status, my centericq continues to display the old status. 
Eventually, my contacts see me disappear offline, even though centericq 
still says I'm online.

Here is a recent forum thread, describing exactly the problems I'm having. 
It appears to be a new phenomenon - i.e. a change in AOL's server:

This is an urgent problem to fix - it effectively renders the AIM part 
of centericq unusable, as far as I can see. Any help much appreciated.

Matthew.
