Comment (by db42):

 Ok, upon investigating this issue, it seems that the ICQ servers would
 kick the client if he would send an MD5 auth request (which uses FLAP type
 2) before sending a regular message of any type on the LOGIN channel (FLAP
 type 1).

 My patch sends an empty FLAP type 1 message and only then sends the
 regular AIM MD5 auth mechanizm as used before, this way ICQ doesn't kick
 us directly, and the login works when disabling ICQ XOR support.
