I was told by the gaim developers that the bug hits big-endian systems "harder" than x86 systems.
So this doesn't mean that all big-endian systems WILL fail, so my absolute working earlier was incorrect.
And a huzzah for sparc64.
Don.
I've had reports of it locking up an Indy when logging into Yahoo. SGI mips machines are big-endian, btw.
I also found this bug, and I wonder if the two are connected:
Bugzilla Bug 37919 net-im/gaim-0.75-r1 reports stack smashing attack when connecting to Yahoo
Maybe what we are seeing is a stack-smash attack taking out big-endian machines? (well, most anyways).
