Comment(by stoffe):

 Persists in 2.5.2 and 2.5.4 (the later one via getdeb) on Ubuntu 8.10.

 It's a big problem because it may take a minute or so before even noticing
 that one, a few or all of the messages failed. Causes a lot of confusion
 between me and the others I talk to. I also get logged out on occasion due
 to "writing error" which is really annoying because it seems Pidgin does
 not try to reconnect?

 On a sidenote, i think the latest amsn also suffers from a similar
 problem, though not as severe, which means that it may be triggered by me
 having a flakey connection, but since the official client has no such
 problems, it means they are not impossible to overcome. My connection is
 via 3G USB modem, and the connection in itself is stable and has no
 problem doing downloads at quite high speeds easily comparable to ADSL, so
 it's not as if it breaks up - but since it is over cellular, of sorts,
 maybe it still is slightly different in some way.
