After upgrading to pyicq-t-0.8.1 and when using the legacyjit xdb driver, pyicq-t becomes unusuable (transport never shows up online). I've reported the appropriate upstream bug and provided a patch, see $URL.
This has been fixed in 0.8.1.1 according to the code and a quick test shows that it is working as expected, too. Only ~arch was broken, so this is fixed now as 0.8.1.1 has been in the tree since yesteday. :) Thankies =)
