New description:

 When I was writing a perl-plugin to support inline image rendering in the
 chat window (of <img> tags), I found out that the datatype in the .xs
 bindings are wrong. (at least for the way I supposed to use it)

 (pidgin couldn't access the image data I sent to imgStore via perl)

 A patch is included.

 I didn't change the typemap (which would also fix it) because I don't know
 if the error is only in the imgStore.xs or also somewhere else.

 p.s. sorry I didn't meant to change the status
