Re: Characters such as "ö" or "ü" in status description crash Pidgin

[Adam]

When I enter those characters by myself it doesn't crash.
Also when MusicTracker enters them, it crashes Pidgin. And then makes Pidgin
forget all IM account settings and forces me to set up everything again.
I found that by editing ACCOUNTS.XML file to remove just those characters
from statuses it makes Pidgin work fine again with all my IM accounts like
they were set before.
