This was causing an assertion when trying to access a nonexistent part of the ABFindAllResponse packet and therefore impossible to log in. This patch replaces occurrences of the obsolete 'contacts.msn.com' with the preferred address (according to the responses) of 'local-bay.contacts.msn.com'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use current versions of papyon files as described in linked bug report. 2.Try and connect using a client such as Empathy. Actual Results: Empathy tries to connect forever. Expected Results: Empathy connects and logs into MSN.
I should have mentioned the fix is provided in the URL I linked in the description.

Note that to my knowledge one should prefer using telepathy-haze for MSN connectivity in empathy over telepathy-butterfly if possible. Currently that's not always a possibility due to telepathy-haze not providing the Call MUC and some more in case you need voip support and such.
