WinXP Pro
Gaim-Portable 2.0.0beta4 (built from beta6 intall)
Initial Symptom:
I couldn't send a file to one of my MSN contacts.
Tests:
Using two MSN accounts (my own) I try to send file from one to another. Gaim crashed when the file upload started. I repeated this a couple times with same results, but on the fourth (an subsequent) try everything worked as it should.
Using two yahoo accounts (my own) I try to send file from one to another. The file uploads ok. I click "accept" and save to folder. Now I get a popup window that says (directed to the sender account) that says something like "File transfer failed. [the receiving account] canceled the transfer." However, the file downloads just fine anyway.
Using two google accounts (my own) I try to send file from one to another. very similar symptoms as the yahoo tests. The difference is that the downloaded file is now corrupted.
Each test used the same 100KB .jpg. And I did make sure that the sending and receiving folders were unique.
