What happens is that the newest login gets preference over the older one, and 
the older gets disconnected. The JabberIM program will try to reconnect, 
thereby kicking out the other one, who will then reconnect and kick out the 
first one. 

To avoid generally .. although it is not really a jabber problem, rather a 
"user" problem :-) is to change the sourcecode to reject NEW logins with an 
existing resource instead of closing the OLD one. 

Should be quite trivial to do, also in jsm/sessions.c (I think :)
