#13891: Invalid characters in status messages causing disconnects

 I am using Jabber with an ICQ transport. I have many contacts on ICQ, and
 some of them seem to use digsby.com from time to time. This will sadly set
 their status message to something containing illegal characters for XMPP,
 as it seems - causing Pidgin to drop the whole XMPP connection.

 Here is the debug output (anonymized) after which I get the disconnect:
 (11:49:40) jabber: Recv (ssl)(374): <presence to="my at jabber.address.com"
