Title:
  MSN user name change to often causes msg box overflow and kills client

Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pidgin

  If the MSN user changes its name too often, then 
  there is an error msg that shows up, it does not say which user, just that it 
was too often.
  If the name continues to change too often, there will be hundreds of such 
boxes open.
  this is a form of an attack,and can kill the client process and block then 
entire session.
