[JDEV] ICQ-Transport BUG!

[Andy Chentsov]

I have found one very unpleasant bug in the ICQ-Transport.
Messages containing russian character "ю" (code 0xFE) are cutted on it.
I.e. everything that goes after this character (including itself) doesn't
reach destination.
However, this letter passes, when I send it within message from Jabber
client to ICQ client,
But from ICQ on Jabber, it does not.

After short look on sources of ICQ-t, I has found following string there:
 SEPARATOR_CHAR = '\xFE in the file icq-protocol.h.
I guess, this SEPARATOR_CHAR is the reason of strings being cutted.

It's highly desirable to eliminate this bug, because I cannot use jabber in
this condition, since most of my russian friends and collaborators are using
usual ICQ clients.

Due to this bug, developing of my own jabber client "JabberBOX" was delayed.
You can see JabberBOX on http://duke.cyberpunk.ru/jabberbox/

Thank you for your attention.
