According to the Microsoft documentation
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740668.aspx) this means "A
system call that should never fail has failed".

I'm guessing that the most likely cause is a software firewall that is
doing something bad.

I'll try to confirm the precise error number, but this looks similar
to a problem a coworker had.

The solution was to remove Gaim from the Windows Firewall exceptions,
then add it again.

Upgrade to beta 6. This was fixed with patch #1606353.

The gaim-patches list is used for notification of updates in the patch
tracker at SourceForge. You should post your patch to the patch tracker.
You can get there from the Gaim project page at SourceForge. Here's a

Sir/Madam

I seek help from designers, developers, testers,defect fixers,project 
managers or playing any other key role in Free/Open Source software 
development or maintenence 
in carrying out a study to identify practices and problems of defect 
management in various Free/Open Source Software projects. The 
insights gained from the study can further help us to extract publicly

on software quality. 
Please spend a few minutes of your precious time to fill up the 
Questionnaire. The most of the questions follow multiple choice formats and 
are quite easy to answer. 

To have the Online Questionnaire, please visit:

I hope you will find all the questions interesting and thought-provoking. 
Your answers will be kept anonymous.The data thus collected will

I was under the impression that spamming smilies has long been known to 
be a DoS vector, just one of the things never 'mentioned' in public. 
Well, I've known about this for several years, anyways, and did mention 
it before. I think the consensus was 'smileys suck, anyway'

Scratching around my memory, so I'm probably wrong, I seem to recall it 
being said once something along the lines that each smiley creates a new 
anim within the gtk window, instead of re-using an previously created 
one... or something along those lines. As I say, my memory is hazy on 
this as it was several years ago I discussed it. This was also with 
regards to Yahoo smilies, and not MSN - so may not be related at all. 
But thought the info may be of some help.

Pete.

The "public API" is just an IPC DBUS interface. It's GPL-compatible,
but not really that useful. You have to have Skype running and, at
that point, why even bother using anything else?

Not that I am aware of. This happens by default for me. (eg.
console/libgnt/test/key waits a while before it prints 27 for the first
escape).

I've used escape for meta that way in mutt also.

Yes, many applications accept Esc-character as M-character, this dates
back quite some time; the behavior I have not seen is screen holding
on to ESC and then generating an 8-bit meta sequence.  Most terminals,
in fact, artificially generate an Esc-character sequence, rather than
using an 8-bit meta, to my understanding.

It's not.  I've looked at it briefly, and it doesn't look like it'd be
too hard to figure out, it also runs on the same port as MSN.  I may
eventually pursue it more, but thats completely dependent on time I
don't have. :)

Which is what leads to the claims that it "uses the MSN protocol."

I'd say this thing has "summer of code project" written all over it.
