Comment(by retrospectacus):

 I've given up on the packet sniffing - too complicated for me, too much
 SSL traffic.
 Since the official client is having problems, MS may update their
 behaviour anyways. dowlingw's suggested solution seems reasonable, I need
 to figure out what is making my patch not work for some people though,,,,
 something to do with having a name set elsewhere?... but I heard on the
 IRC that a pidgin dev had implemented a workaround for the next release
 anyways, so I'm just going to wait for now.

 fractos: that is what happened on my girlfriend's computer when she tried
 the patched dll on an old version of pidgin (2.5.5 or something) - verify
 you have the latest version.
