Comment 27 for bug 408530

Running Karmic Koala beta, kept up to date. I still encounter this bug in Empathy and have also had it occur in Pidgin - same protocols (AIM and Google Talk), same symptoms, same error. So it may relate to one or more of the dependencies shared between Pidgin and Empathy (since Empathy depends libpurple, among others.) This bug occurs several times a day and will prove to be a "Linux sucks" showstopper for new users.
