Comment:

 > Do you know what the other person was doing when the crash happened?
 Nothing special. It really happened at random.

 > I tried sending custom emoticons, nudges, winks, files, and none of
 those caused a crash in finch. Or does finch crash even if you just login
 and do nothing else?
 Yup, it seems to be so. Even when I just login, it can crash within
 minutes. But it doesnt every time.

 > How many buddies do you have in the buddylist on the MSN account?
 101 buddies of which up to 40 or 50 are online at a time. During my tests
 it usually was < 20 due to nighttime.

 > If you have any other MSN account
 I dont :) sorry.

 Its a really weird issue; it just seems to randomly die. I've had it
 working for over an hour, but then still out of nowhere (well, actually
 when I focussed out of the gnome-terminal window with Finch in it) it just
 completely crash'n'burned. Other times this happened within a few minutes.

 As I said, I'm on a rather large (2000+ campus (home) computers)
 university network. Might that be interesting? Should I try logging data
 and see what happens packetwise when Finch crashes?
