I've been tracking down the source of the crashes in MSN-t for anywise.org and 
it turned out that it was actually segfaulting inside the Curl library 
itself.
This problem only occurs with Curl 7.10.8, it has been fixed in Curl CVS, and 
wasn't present in 7.10.7

Anybody using 7.10.8 who has the Curl source handy can apply this patch to 
curl-src/lib/transfer.c to fix the problem (an free() on an uninitialised 
variable)
http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/curl/lib/transfer.c?r1=1.182&r2=1.183&ty=h

Otherwise, try to find a binary of latest CVS, or downgrade to 7.10.7


If this doesn't fix the crashes for some of you, *please* send me a backtrace 
so I can debug it.

Run ulimit -c 10000
Then start MSN-t, when it crashes, run

gdb jabberd -c corefile
>> bt

And send me the backtrace. Thanks


Good luck people!
