@Brian, Yes , i quit xchat similarly.
Yes , this problem is only when the Away plugin is activated. :( This started 
only recently in Lucid, I had been using this plugin for a long time.

PS: If you have an alternate auto-away plugin suggestion , we can close
this bug ;-)

** Changed in: xchat (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xchat
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1: start xchat
  2: let xchat run continuously for several hours. [around 5-6 hrs min]
- 3: After several hours , Now close xchat. 
+ 3: After several hours , Now close xchat.
  
  Problem:
  Xchat freezes and does not close
  - it starts using high cpu and just remains
  
  Workaround:
- Force quit xchat.
+ 1: Disable/dont use the Auto-away plugin attached here
+ 2: Force quit xchat.
  
  This has been happening for over a month now , and i'm not sure which
  update this started with. But earlier [on lucid] it was working properly
  , this is a regression that I'm noticing.
  
  I wasnt sure how to report this earlier, hence the delay.
  
  To attain the crash report , I used $kill -11 <xchat PID>
