 Hi,

 We are using pidgin v2.6.4 on Ubuntu Hardy system. We use this client to
 connect to our openfire server using XMPP protocol. We observed that
 pidgin sends some strange characters to the server, though we haven't
 typed any of them. This is essentially happening in MUC conversation
 rooms. Check the below mentioned logs from the debug window:

 {{{
 (13:13:58) jabber: Sending (ssl): <message type='groupchat'
 id='purple1ddaa78' to='room at chat.domain.com'><body><U+FEFF>[Flash]
 Installing user1 at server1 </body></message>
 (13:14:04) jabber: Sending (ssl): <message type='groupchat'
 id='purple1ddaa79' to='room at chat.domain.com'><body><U+FEFF>[Flash]
 Unsuspending: [user1 at server1 </body></message>
 (18:02:08) jabber: Sending (ssl) (user1 at domain.com/Office): <message
 type='groupchat' id='purple8ba694d4' to='room at chat.domain.com'><body> test
 message 4 ! test test</body></message>
 (18:02:14) jabber: Sending (ssl) (user1 at domain.com/Office): <message
 type='groupchat' id='purple8ba694d5' to='room at chat.domain.com'><body>test
 message 5 <A0>test test</body></message>
 (18:02:27) jabber: Sending (ssl) (user1 at domain.com/Office): <message
 type='groupchat' id='purple8ba694d6' to='room at chat.domain.com'><body>{
 test message 6 - test test</body></message>
 }}}

 We never added these characters (<U+FEFF>, <A0>). We observed the similar
 behavior with a older version (2.4.2). But upgrading to 2.6.4 also leaves
 us with the same problem. The main issue is that server is unable to save
 such messages in the database. This happens randomly.

 Any inputs to resolve this would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

 Thanks,
 Satish
