I am getting similiar problems. However, I could make it quite reproducible:


when I send data slowly (i.e. by typing it manually into a telnet 
session), it seems to work perfectly.

However, when i send the data very fast (by using a reqular client, 
or when I copy & past a big bunch of data into the telnet session), 
it crashes.

This seems to indicate a syncronisation problem; since the pth 
workaround described on the funcall website 
(http://www.funcall.com/Documentation/Jabber/BuildingJabberOnMacOSX.html)
are sort of hacks to resolve sync problems, maybe the same is a problem here.

Somebody who really know the server and pth must take a look at it, I 
think. I wish jer had his Ti-Book already ;)
