Re: msn segfaults

Could be a library issue.. who knows.. "Segmentation Fault" isnt a very helpful message. But I see many people
have reported this, OpenBSD developers have also flagged centericq as "broken software" and disabled building of it
in the ports tree.

I have had the same problem with centreicq under multiple *nix opertaing systems.

If there is some information I could contribute that would help them find the cause, i would.
I think this is just a case of buggy code. If it is a library issue, perhaps the ./configure script
could do more indepth checking for things that are known to break the code.

All speculation though.

  Subject: Re: [cicq] 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 4.21.0 from the ubuntu repositories. it connects and stays connected just beautifully. 

  Perhaps this is a distro or library issue? 

  kind regards, 
  Laurent
