tags 39753 patch thanks note: this reply is to the first message in this bug, the second message looks like it could be a seperate (but most likely similar) issue.
from the most recent changelog:
* 06_irc-signal-crash.patch:
- Add patch to work around crash on receiving non-ASCII characters
in IRC by not emitting the new "irc-receiving-text" signal; the text
from the server needs to be normalized into proper UTF-8 before sending
it to dbus.
from looking at the backtrace and the source it seems there is an
"irc-sending-text" signal that also needs to be disabled, i've attatched a
modified version of the irc signal crash patch and put a set of debs at
http://plugwash.bircd.org/gaimirccrashfix/ for testing, can the reporters of
this bug please test if my change fixes their problem.
