Re: msn segfaults

I had noticed an issue where cicq 4.21.0 would persistently segfault when i
logged into msn. I resolved this issue by locating and removing an empty
directory which had seemed to randomly show up - ~/.centericq/m/ .

This worked for a while until  the last week or so. Lately cicq loads up
just fine, and connects to icq and jabber, until i manually instruct it to
connect to msn, at which point cicq will reliably segfault.

Just now i copied my ~/.centericq from my server running slackware
10.2(where i normally run cicq and where msn has been segfaulting cicq
lately)
to my home pc running xubuntu dapper (6.06.1) and installed centericq
4.21.0from the ubuntu repositories. it connects and stays connected
just
beautifully.

Perhaps this is a distro or library issue?

kind regards,
Laurent
