 There was no such problem with Openfire 3.10.2 version. Starting with
 3.10.3 (same with 4.0.0 Beta fresh install) Pidgin connects to a server,
 but after a few seconds its GUI freezes and it is then disconnected. GUI
 stays frozen and Pidgin's process cannot be killed via Task manager or
 other means other than restarting Windows.

 It works fine when started via pidgin.exe -d 2>&1 >
 "%USERPROFILE%\debug.log" shortcut. And as it also do not crash, i can't
 provide debug or PRT file when it is in the forzen state.

 There is probably some incompatibility between Pidgin and Openfire 3.10.3+
 versions. Other clients work fine though. But this ticket is mainly about
 Pidgin's process hanging without a way to kill it on Windows.
