[JDEV] Jabberd forgets </stream> after </stream:error>

Probably, but there are many places where 1.4.2 does not conform to the
XMPP spec. Since development has stopped on the 1.4 series, its unlikely
that this will be fixed (unless you want to develop a fix yourself,
which I can commit to CVS).

jabberd 2.0 aims to be fully compliant with the XMPP specs, and is under
active development.
