(please cc: me, not subscribed) (using gabber 0.8.5 and jabber.org)
Numerous times my roster claims a contact is available when in fact he is not. It seems to happen when he (a dialup user) kills pppd without explicitly logging out of jabber. He can remain in this state of limbo indefinitely (I've witnessed a 6 hour stretch). It seems that he only remains in limbo as long as no one attempts to contact him in any way (either chatting or trying to extract client info, etc). Even after someone (me) tries to chat with him while he is in limbo, it takes a few (5, 10? I'm not really sure, and it varies) minutes for the roster to report him as offline. I'm sorry I don't have a good reproducible case. I consider this a bug though, as it is extremely annoying. For what it's worth, I never saw this back when I used AIM, though I don't believe I ever had a buddy who had no other buddies aside from me (as is the case with this particluar jabber user). -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
