Priority:  minor            |   Component:  ICQ

 A bug was reported on launchpad at:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/215634

 Where if the characters &#x4 are anywhere in an ICQ message that message
 fails to be received by a recipient.
 For Example one user would see:
 bobs_friend: Hi!
 user_bob: Hey whats up! &#x4
 user_bob: Nice day!

 A friend would see:
 bobs_friend: Hi!
 user_bob:
 user_bob: Nice Day!

 I admit this is fairly minor in scope, but could possibly be a minor
 example of a more important flaw like failing to properly escape special
 characters in a message. Or this could be a feature of ICQ and not a bug
 and I just didn't manage to find where it was written down.

 Thanks.
