No problem at all. I run client and server on the same machine here

This in many ways is like th HTTP 500 error - it has many possible causes,
and we'd need to see more info (e.g. debug log output) to get a hold on it.

jabberd/deliver is the central routing mechanism in the Jabber server.
It knows about the different components that make up a server, and 
what hostnames and namespaces are appropriate for what components (well
vice versa I guess). It works out where to deliver packets, and delivers
them.

(not to be confused with a deliver.c in the JSM ;-)
