You're right, it is annoying.  You're also right in that there's no way to
fix it easily.  In fact, I don't think there's a way to fix it at all.  The
transports themselves send their presence messages; if a transport crashes
(or gets kill -9'd or some such), obviously, it has no way of sending an
"unavailable" presence, because it's *gone*! :-)

This is not the case for "graceful" shutdowns (such as what happens when you
send icq-t a SIGTERM); there, the transport can close all connections, send
"unavailable" presence, etc., before it exits.
