[JDEV] ICQ Transport Weirdness

[Benjamin Reed]

I'm not sure what caused this, but lately ICQ transport has been
flaking out on me a lot.  The log file makes no sense, but is
consistent.  Every time it dies, I end up with something like this:

---(snip!)---

My ICQ transport is running in a separate process; it's been
working for a good month up until about a week ago.  Here's the
icqtrans.xml file I use to start it up:

...it's running on the current CVS version of ICQTrans, but
switching around on versions doesn't seem to help.  When I
restart it, everything works again, but it's dead by the next
day.  Any ideas what's going on?
