With gaim-1.3.1 on alpha (stable), I cannot connect to msn without crashing. On my x86 (unstable) it works perfectly (same home directory, so config files are shared). The previous version on alpha (1.3.0) did work, if I remember correctly. msn: User 'he@domain.com' is already there: FL (couple of times) msn: C: NS 000: BLP 10 AL server: allowing NOP msn: S: NS 000: CHG 9 NLN 268435488 msn: S: NS 000: ILN 9 NLN buddy-address blahblah....

Same error for me if I use debug use flag. Would you mind compile it again with -debug and check if the error persists? Have you compiled gaim with debug use flag enabled on x86 and have no problems? Thanks for reporting Stefaan.
Confirmed. Gaim on alpha is 1.3.1 compiled with debug. Gaim on x86 with debug does work.
Maybe this helps? Trying with 1.4.0 now, FEATURES="nostrip", USE="debug", on alpha, ran in gdb...

Unable to reproduce anymore with gaim-1.4.0-r2. Probably has to do with files/gaim-1.4.0-msn-userlist.diff
