Package: pidgin
Version: 2.5.5-1
Severity: normal
I was just debugging an XML stream problem in my own codebase, found the
offending character and was sending a message with it to a friend so they
could see what was crashing our software. This caused pidgin itself to crash
with "XML Not Well Formed".
The string I was pasting is:
the worlds greatest ancient mysteries
As you can see, there is a control-Z character where there should be an
apostrophe -- probably some bad encoding soemwhere up the line -- but it
results in pidgin dropping my XMPP connection.
Pidgin (and/or the upstream XML emitter) should handle this better. My software
should too. I'm working on fixing my software now. :-)
Thanks,
Tyler
