I've got same problem on my build, since I've updated to 0.10.0.8
There is a nuance: this bug appears only on several contact from my jabber 
list, I don't know why.

I suspect that this is because of avatars that defined for those users.
Looks like we need to report this to Miranda IM developers, but I don't know 
how.

Ou, this is correct place for reporting :) Sorry.
I hope this issue will be solved ASAP. Looks critical for me.
 Additional information: 
Contact which cause crash of Miranda has Pandeon client installed v.2.6.106.

A work around for the problem is to go an set a global default avatar for the 
Jabber protocol.

 -  File | Options | Customize | Avatars | Protocols
 -  Highlight the "Global avatar for JABBER accounts" option
 -  Click "Set default picture"
 -  Browse to and select an appropriate picture
 -  Apply the changes and close the Options area of Miranda

This may or may not work for everyone. It has worked for me on three machines 
running Miranda version 0.10.0.8 with Jabber version 0.10.0.8

Update on the work around. Seems to have worked for a while, then started 
having problems again.

Updated to version 0.10.1.0. No change.

Having this problem only with clist_modern.dll (v 0.9.0.11), with other contact 
list managers there's no issue

Another temporary workaround is to use arrow keys to select the desired contact 
in roster (the choice of which causes crash) and then hit Enter to open chat. 
Works for me.

Seems that the problem is in avs.dll (0.10.1.0). Turned it off 3 hours ago - 
works well so far (with clist_modern).

Nothing was changed into 0.10.2.0 of this issue too. :sad:

As I can see, according to Comment 3 by Whoisi...@gmail.com, Aug 5, 2012 - this 
problem still exists in that case, when you try to open person contact the 
first and send some messages. Problem disappears after your contact will send 
you message first.

I'm also getting this crash with the latest release (0.10.4.0). I downloaded 
and built the source and reproduced it; the crash is happening in 
jabber_list.cpp, here:

TCHAR* CJabberProto::ListGetBestClientResourceNamePtr( const TCHAR* jid )
{
    EnterCriticalSection( &m_csLists );
    int i = ListExist( LIST_ROSTER, jid );
    if ( !i ) {
        LeaveCriticalSection( &m_csLists );
        return NULL;
    }

    JABBER_LIST_ITEM* LI = m_lstRoster[i-1];
    TCHAR* res = ListGetBestResourceNamePtr( jid );
    if ( res == NULL ) res = LI->lastSeenResource->resourceName;

LI->lastSeenResource is NULL and hence the crash. Changing that line to 

    if ( res == NULL && LI->lastSeenResource != NULL ) res = LI->lastSeenResource->resourceName;

fixed the crash for me.

The problem still exists at v0.10.20.0
Why didn't they use the #11 jasmin.p...@gmail.com fix?

They did use that fix in r14394 (Oct 22, 2012)

You must have another problem.

Well it's close to issue 1666 
http://code.google.com/p/miranda/issues/detail?id=1666
but symptoms in this one are close for me - it happens only when I open chat 
window with gtalk account.
