Found a solution (if your'e building from source)
(worked for me)
Insert:
if (strcmp(a_norm, b_norm) == 0) {
g_free(a_norm);
g_free(b_norm);
return 0;
}
in function:
int
gaim_utf8_strcasecmp(const char *a, const char *b)
in file src/util.c, just before ret = g_utf8_collate(a_norm, b_norm);

Yes it's still there, both for the Gaim in repo and for Gaim V2.0 CVS. Crashes when you load your MSN buddies list.

Actually for me it only happens when I use my @hotmail.com address and not my personal one (mike@ince.mine.nu).
I do get random disconnects with my personal one.

aparently this is due to chinise charters acording to a bug report I read.

Huh? I don't use any chinese characters, and I don't know anyone who does!

Hmmm... I am using MSN8 Beta at work with my @hotmail.com account. Perhaps this is the cause?

do you know anyone that uses werid charters lie " Ô¤¦" non ascii ones, because they are all utf-8 and I think this was the problem.... I updated again and think it is fixed for good now!

My Gaim 2.0 Beta is now working... I did a full system update. But I did not notice it working before installing Fluxbox... But it works in Fluxbox... and now in GNOME too. Dunno if and how Fluxbox would have anything to do with but my Gaim is not crashing anymore. :)

fluxbox had nothing to do with it, it seems the bug was fixed

The Gaim on my Dapper is still crashing when loading MSN buddy list... I have dist-upgraded regularily, so I think I'm using the newest version. Did I miss something?

What version of gAIM are you using?
As I have no problems at the moment with 2.x Beta 2.

I'm using version 1.5 I think. Version 2.0 is not yet in Dapper, right?
