 I've been having this issue for quite some time. In short, when I get
 disconnected from my company's Jabber server, Pidgin will automatically
 reconnect, but then I will repeatedly get disconnected with a "read error"
 every 17 minutes (approximately) until I manually disconnect, wait
 (usually a minute is sufficient), then reconnect.

 This is reproducable behaviour for me and happens every time. Since I'm a
 German customer of T-Online, I have forced disconnects (they don't want
 people permanently online to keep IPs free) every 24h on my DSL line, so
 this happens at least once per day. Note that when these disconnects
 happen, my IP changes; however, I've seen this happen without an IP change
 as well (in case of some network blurp somewhere else). Currently I'm
 connected through a router, but this happened with direct connection
 through a DSL modem before as well.

 The fact that manually disconnecting, then reconnecting after some wait
 reliably fixes the issue means that this is not a networking problem.

 From a look around, I'm not sure if http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5278
 and http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5441 might be related.
