Well, It seems that this was a my fault :P

On the first days of the development I found that the only way to
complete the connection was not to create a new fd handler if the client
was asked for one already in use, but using the previous one (also adium
seems to do this).
After implementing this I was able to connect, but... Not with my
account using the "pure" MSN protocol (I mean, without using the
"http_method").

Now I've reverted the patch I did, and you know what? The client
connects correctly to all the protocols I've tested and with all the
accounts. I neither get any error or segmentation fault.

You can find attached what I think can be hopefully considered the
"final version" with the patch against the previous version.

If you'd like to include this client in the libpurple sources as a test
client, I can prepare a patch.

Bye and thanks for your advices.
