I don't have time to fix this.
"In today's status meeting, I was kicked several times again.
After the meeting, I tried again (just entered the channel, didn't write
anything) and was kicked within a minute - this time with wireshark watching
the line. I'll send you a tcpdump via mail (because it could contain private
data).
You can get a quick overview of what Kopete is doing by "parsing" the file with
"strings" or look at the packages in detail (including timestamps) by opening
it in wireshark.
As far as I can see, Kopete does lots of WHOIS requests, which the server
obviously doesn't like.
Reducing the frequency of the WHOIS requests would be interesting to test...
The package is nearly up to date:
# rpm -qf --last `which kopete`
