[JDEV] behaviors in AIM transport

[Thomas Muldowney]

Thanks for the nice bug report.  I am aware of these bugs and I'm working on
them.  I'm hoping to have a newer version in cvs and on jabber.org tonight.  I'm
sorry for the long delay since a new version, but I've been working on the
scaling of Jabber.
