Comment:

 Thanks for the information akb, kabuki0420 and vitrum. I can reproduce
 this bug by signing onto an account with lots of friends, with msimprpl on
 Mac OS X and Windows, but not Linux. The samples attached, and my own
 backtraces, all include msim_msg_dictionary_parse(). Backtrace from when I
 interrupted Adium (without symbols):

 {{{

 Currently investigating this problem. Looks like the for loop in
 msim_msg_dictionary_parse() is never being exited.
