I think the reason was on the gaim website, or somewhere. Yahoo has just recently made a minor adjustment to their protocol which was causing the error in gaim. I dont think it has been 100% fixed yet, and until then, i went ahead and installed ymessenger from http://messenger.yahoo.com . there is a freebsd version. 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.
