Hi there Andreas,
would you mind looking into this bugreport[1] which is already some years old? There was a problem with communications to usernames longer than 8 characters due to ytalk using a field as an empty padding. I tried to fix it with no luck some time ago. Does the problem still apply to current releases of ytalk and is it fixable?
Keep the good work up, Philipp Kern
