[JDEV] Getting lotsa ACKs from jabber.org

I've noticed that the jabber client I use, after a while, recieves a lot
of ACK packages. The packages themselves contain a different number of
empty spaces, usually ranging from 1-10 spaces. 
 In other words, the packages contain no XML.

Any what these packages are, and how is my client supposed to answer the
packages?

Client is CenterICQ running on Debian/Linux kernel 2.4.20.

A small cutout of the tcpdump:
