[Gaim-devel] GAIM Crashes

[Daniel C. <dca...@ma...>]

Hello,

I having trouble with Gaim 0.59.6 on a Sun SPARC workstation. I'm
communicating with someone with Gaim 0.59.6 on Linux.  We are both using
Jabber.

Problem 1:
----------
GAIM works fine at the Linux end.  At the Sun end, when I send a message:

  1.- The Buddy List disappears.
  2.- A popup titles "Connection Error" says
      "dcarrera has been signed off:  Connection lost".
  3.- The login window appears.

After about a second, GAIM seems to automatically log me in and I can
resume the conversation where I stopped.  The chat window never
disappears.


This does not occur every time I send a message.  It occurs on about 3 out
of 4 messages.

Problem 2:
----------
On both systems, the first and last characters of every message are
replaced by a '?'.

Does anyone know what is happening and how I can fix this?

Thanks for the help,
Daniel.

I don't know what's up here, but what you are describing is that you are 
being disconnected, and autorecon is reconnecting you. further, from 
this description, jabber is your only account online.

The problem has something to do with Jabber.  IRC works fine.

That is indeed odd.  Are the messages straight 7-bit ASCII (IE no 
accents, no chars not in English)?  Does the same thing happen with the 
same jabber server and a "normal" (IE stable non-gaim) jabber client?

AFAIK it's all plain ASCII.  I certainly didn't put any accents, or
anything unisual.  It happens when I just say "hi".  There is no apparent
correlation between the content of the message and the outcome.

One time I wrote a message and the error occurred.  I copied and pasted
and the error ocurred again, pasted again and there was no error.

I haven't tried this with another Jabber client.

I think it's odd that this didn't seem to happen at the Linux end.

Is it possible that a Sun machine might send non-ASCII characters without
my noticing?  That would be very weird.

Daniel.

It would be really helpful to see the debug output when you send.

Open up the debug window, or run gaim with the -d flag, and send me
a log of the output, and I'll see if I can track it down.

I'm attaching the entire output of 'gaim -d'.  But here is the relevant
part:
