I agree that attempt to support any sort of unexpected server behaviour is 
strange at least.

However, i'm interested [as a programmer] how in this particular case 
TypeError could happen - that means, how invalid server input could change 
the type of 'snac' object at oscar.py:1970
This may indicate a bug somewhere.


Btw, while we are on topic.

The serious issue that makes it virtually impossible to move local users 
from icq to jabber+pyicqt, is that after initial registration in the 
transport, user gets his icq contact list (sometimes huge!) imported into 
jabber roster in numeric form (as [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Is there any 
possibility to automatically import nicknames of ICQ contacts (including 
russian nicknames)?
