My RPM --rebuild version of Gabber 0.8.4 installation
on Redhat 7.1 regularly crashes when logging into my
home hosted jabber 1.4.1 server. I don't know why,
but 99.9% of all log in attempts result in a crash.
Here's the final few lines of the debug from the last
4 tries (all 4 out of 4 resulted in crashes). I'm
wondering it has anything to do with my roster being
fairly large (about 50 names). It doesn't seem to
have anything to do with the specific presence
messages since it doesn't always crash in the same
place (although frequently does).

    I think it interesting to note that the last message
    displayed is almost always exactly 1449 bytes long.

    First off, you're not hitting any sort of a limit on the
    amount of users on a roster which Gabber can handle. It's
    constantly being used with a *lot* more than 50.

    Second, I really need to see the XML you get before you
    receive any <presence> packets - specifically, the roster
    itself. Feel free to send it to me in a private email
    (julian@jabber.org) or else just look for the following
    things yourself (These are suspect because they have not
    been tested a lot... not all are necessarily known bugs):

    - JabberID's containing extended characters- Multiple roster
    items for one JabberID
    - Multiple roster items for the same JabberID, but different
    resources
    - Any roster item which does not seem quite like the others

    Did you find a solution to this problem? The same thing is
    happening to me.

    I'm having the same/similar problem. But I have a very
    small roster. I have, however, played silly buggers with msn
    gateways and use Exodus at work with this account.

    Complete terminal text following..
