sending im via libpurple causes microsofts msn messenger to quit

[Duncan Berriman]

Following on from previous message to the list I have now built my own libpurple having removed the problematic request_input call and instead just hard coded the call to finish_auth_request.

My code can now successfully add an msn buddy and it is saved in MSN (which is verified by logging on using msn messenger).

Now a further problem.

If I send messages via my client  using libpurple to the MSN contact it causes the contact using MSN messenger to logout.

Any ideas why libpurple is causing MSN Messenger to quit? Slightly worrying it causes MSN's current  messenger to fail.

Debug log below up to the point msn messenger fails.
