This is a nasty one, this is. Somewhere in the middle of msn_handle_incoming, 
the msnconn object is being pointed somewhere random in memory. Either that, 
or the linked list is shifting out from underneath it. Whatever. There 
appears to be an occasional segfault in alpha-7, to do with MSN. So far, it's 
only manifested itself with one-on-one chats, and is something to do with a 
switchboard cleanup (which happens when you talk to someone, then leave it 
for a while and it times out bits of the MSN internals).

However, I'm having real trouble reproducing this one reliably, so I'd really 
appreciate it if anyone could find a guaranteed way to make this happen. Then 
I can write debug code, and all that stuff, and we can sort it out fairly 
quickly. Isolating this one looks to be the trickiest bit.
