Public bug reported: I can connect Gaim to irc, AIM etc without any problem; however when I connect to (manually and/or 'autologin' to MSN, the application systematically crashed.
Obtained a backtrace as suggested at: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php and it looks like this: ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
