pidgin crashes when foobar amip plugin for msn live messenger 8.x is activated and foobar changes status

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Change anything in the foobar2000 status (i.e. skip track, close foobar,
stop track, play, choose other track, etc.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
should result in change of status message, instead pidgin crashes

What version of musictracker are you using? What version of pidgin are you
using? On what operating system?
musictracker 0.4.17
pidgin 2.5.5
win xp pro sp3

What mp3 player are you using?
foobar2000 0.9 WITH AMIP PLUGIN

What IM protocol(s) are you using?
jabber(gtalk), msn, yahoo, icq, skype

Please attach or paste output from pidgin's Help/Debug Window (be careful
to remove any protocol usernames you don't want made public)
18:48:44) skype: Received: PROFILE MOOD_TEXT hört gerade 'Place De
Broukere' von Jimmy Rosenberg
(18:48:44) skype: Received: USER xxxxx MOOD_TEXT hört gerade 'Place De
Broukere' von Jimmy Rosenberg

Please provide any additional information below. Please ensure that the "
Notify me of issue changes" star is switched on, so you get email when this
issue is updated.
The error only occurs when the foobar amip plugin is activated (amip.dll v
2.65) and in amip the aim support is switched on and therein the "MSN Live
Messenger 8.x compatibility" is activated.

This is not really an issue for me, just thought I'd let you know.

I'm not able to reproduce this problem.

If the final text written to the debug log really is always something starting
"skype:" this may be a problem with the skype protocol plugin and not 
musictracker. 
You should try with those accounts disabled and alternatively with musictracker
disabled to test this.

You may find http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports contains some 
helpful
tips for writing the pidgin debug log to file and obtained a .RPT crash dump.

On reading http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/manual/configurator, I notice that 
this
says that the AMIP "MSN Live Messenger (8.x) compatibility" is only needed for 
MSN
Messenger 8.x betas, and not for the final version.  This option should not 
need to
be turned on when using AMIP with musictrcker (although it should still not 
cause it
to crash)

First of all let me say thank you for the great plugin as well as your support 
with
everbody's issues!

About "...this may be a problem with the skype protocol plugin...": I have 
switched
all protocols on and off and tried many, though not all, permutations of pidgin
protocols/skype preferences/foobar2000 and amip configurations. The problem 
seems
only to occur in the case I described. If you care to look into this deeper, I 
can
send you my amip configuration files, though, as already stated, this is not 
really a
major issue for me, aand also it is already solved in a way.

I have btw experienced a similar thing with openPandora and musictracker both 
trying
to set the skype status concurrently, resulting in openPandora to freeze. 
Switching
the openPandora plugin off and letting the "Send Songs Info To Messenger" 
plugin take
care of setting the pidgin status solves the problem.

Crash bugs always need investigating :-). 

If you can provide a full debug log and the .rpt file by following the 
instructions
at http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports, that would be great.

There you go.

Another thing, probabaly not worth opening another ticket: I think that %p and 
%t
should be vice versa; this at least seems to apply to foobar and openPandora 
output.

Thanks.  Interesting.  I think I may have fixed your crash bug with a change in
0.4.18, without realizing it was a crash bug.  Can you try with that version, 
please?

Always raise a separate ticket for separate issues!  However, I've also done 
some
work in 0.4.18 to address the %p/%t reversal when coming from WM_COPYDATA 
messages,
so perhaps you could see if updating fixes that as well :-)

I'm assuming this crash problem was resolved with changes in the 0.4.18 
release. If
that wasn't the case, please re-open this issue.  If you have other problems, 
please
open a new issue.
