[Bug 57430] gaim unhappy when Socks5 server goes away

[Tollef Fog Heen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim


Steps to reproduce:

ssh -v -D 1234 somehost (this makes localhost:1234 an SOCKS5 proxy)
start gaim, add an IRC account and ask it to use localhost:1234 as a SOCKS5 proxy

ssh quits with:

debug1: Connection to port 1234 forwarding to socks port 0 requested.
debug1: channel 3: new [dynamic-tcpip]
buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 2 than in buffer 1
buffer_get: buffer error

gaim stops updating its UI and spins using 100% CPU.

** Affects: gaim (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
