Bug Description

Hi,

I encountered this problem when I tried to connect to gtalk (google talk) server
with gaim in Ubuntu 5.10 "The Breezy Badger". I setupped a new jabber account
exactly following the instructions given by Google on web site:
http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?answer=24073
But when I tried to login in, after the stage of initializing stream, an error
of "Read Error" occured.

Furthermore, not only gtalk server, gaim can not connect to other jabber server,
for example jabber.org too. A similar error occured. I got some debug info
with gdb:
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

In order to verify if it is a bug of gaim itself, I also tried psi, another
jabber client. It works well. So, it may be really a bug of gaim shipped with
Ubuntu 5.10. By the way, the gaim in gnome 2.12 livecd (ubuntu) has the same
problem.

Thank you.

This stack trace is showing a smashed or currupted stack, the function calls it
relates are not possible. I talked with Nathan, our jabber guy (upstream) and
he asks for the output of gaim -d, the last 10 or 15 lines before the crash.

the debug output below does not appear to be a case where gaim crashed? just
where it failed to connect?

when you connect to gtalk, you aren't hitting "register" correct? you do have
your settings set as per the gtalk help pages?

Hi,

When I connect to gtalk (or jabber.org) server, gaim will report "Read Error"
and ask me whether to reconnect it. If I try several times, gaim will crash. I
have just reproduce it and the gaim -d output is (I only post the last part):

Gaim has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
This is a bug in the software and has happened through
no fault of your own.

It is possible that this bug is already fixed in CVS.
If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the gaim
maintainers by reporting a bug at
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/bug.php

Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time,
and post the backtrace from the core file. If you do not know
how to get the backtrace, please get instructions at
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php. If you need further
assistance, please IM either SeanEgn or LSchiere and
they can help you.
dns[15754]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...!
Aborted

For the account setup, I think I do follow the official instructions exactly. I
have installed gaim for windows and setup it to connect to gtalk server
sucessfully :-)

Maybe a gnutls issue, does it happen if you don't use the ssl option?

Yes, it seems that this bug has been fixed in both Debian and Ubuntu.

Thanks.
