--------------------------------------------------------+-------------------
 A couple of days ago, the msnp14 branch started having problems while
 connecting to MS' Live! servers. It was caused by a memory allocation
 failure that happened when a NULL pointer was read in nexus.c (line 176,
 char* c). This was in turn caused by an unhandled SOAP server redirection.
 The following patch handles redirection gracefully, thus allowing pidgin
 to connect, but leaves nexus.c untouched. As the source says, that bunch
 of code (and this new patch) should use XML to parse data instead of
 relying on string manipulation routines.
