I can confirm this patch works using the channel info provided by mesb
(http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/14341#comment:15).

It's worthy of note that this *does not* crash under Linux (Debian Sid)
[I got malformed UTF8 messages in the debug log, but no crash], but does
under Windows and with Adium 1.4.3b1.
