patch for clientLogin issue

[Chris Garriss]

I reverted to 2.6.4 - OTR would not work with GTalk, Yahoo or MSN in 2.6.5.
In attempting to make a Private Conversation connection it just "hung".  My
brother in Canada with 2.6.5 just received a series of error messages, he
also reverted to 2.6.4.  OTR works with no problem in that version.
