Description Josh Bressers 2005-08-08 20:11:17 UTC
Gaim contains an old copy of the libgadugadu source.  This code contains a
memory alignment bug which can cause gaim to crash.

This issue only affects the PPC and S390 platforms.

The patch is located here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gaim/gaim/src/protocols/gg/libgg.c?r1=1.21.2.1&r2=1.21.2.2
