Yahoo has just recently made a minor adjustment to their protocol which was causing the error in gaim.

I tried once to run the windows version under wine, it installed just fine, and you can log in, but as soon as you do, it crashes. --mat On Thu, 2002-11-21 at 06:37, Jim Arnold wrote: > >On Wed, Nov 20, 2002 at 09:18:50PM -0800, Jim Arnold wrote: > > > >> About three days again Gaim started crashing on me > >> with a vengeance with a signal 6.
