Hi, just upgraded my server from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 and noticed that jabberd2 stopped working.
I finally tracked it down to the expat library which now contains a "fix" for CVE-2012-0876. This fix tries to add some randomisation to expat's own hash tables, but by doing so fiddles with srand and thereby makes the random ids generated by jabberd2 much less random. One way around this is by using the new function XML_SetHashSalt just after creating an XML parser...
