Crash on startup in libgaim with Gadu-Gadu

[mietek@gmail.com]

Adium crashes every time I try to launch it. Holding the shift key at startup, I verified the problem is with signing on to my Gadu-Gadu account. Using another GG client, I noticed that certain buddy list entries that used to contain Polish extended characters look really odd -- for example, "małpa" has become "maÄ?â??Ă?â?ŚÄ?Ë?ââ??ÂŹÄąË?pa" and "bakłażan" turned into "bakÄ?â??Ă?â?ŚÄ?Ë?ââ??ÂŹÄąË?aÄ?â??Ă?â?ŚÄ?â??Ă?ĹĄan". In the attached crashlog, you'll find that libgaim crashes during charset conversion, so the characters are probably the root of the problem. I'll try to refrain from using them.

Editing the buddy list by fixing the corrupted names and exporting it back to the Gadu-Gadu server using another client fixed the crash.

[evands]

Good. Crash won't exist as of next release, since we'll be moving to libgaim 2.0.0 and with it a new gadu-gadu implementation.
