Description of problem:
When i try to recive multiple files which has the same name over the
MSN protocol (havent tried any other protocol) - something bad
happens. I have seen muliple failures - such as an "aborted" transfer
showing transfer speed and increasing number of transfered bytes - and
gaim totaly crashing (it does altough manage to "pull it self
together" and shutdown nicely)

I will detail one incident where this happened - it was the MSN
protocol (which happen to be the only one i use) - and both ends was
using GAIM IM client.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gaim-0.81-1.FC2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Other end (anders) initiates a transfer of a screenshot. This was
done by draging the picture over from the print-screen dialog to the
IM window.
2. I (kyrre) acknowledge the transfer. Transfer begins.
3. Anders looses his WiFi connection and gets logged of MSN.
4. Transfer stops - but does not show "failed" or anything - transfer
speed is still at a positive value, everything indicates that the
connection is OK - exept the "bytes downloaded" count does not increase.
5. Anders gets his connection back and reconnects.
6. Anders does a new screenshot and drags it over to the GAIM window.
The file has the same name as the first one - "Screenshot.png"
7. I acknowledge the file transfer. Get asked where to save it (i
chose /home/kyrre - same as last time). Asked "overwrite?" - answered
"yes"
8. File transfer begins. Both transfers is in the transfers dialog.
9. I click "stop" and then "remove"
10. Gaim shuts itself down unexpectedly

Thank you for your report. In order to make sure it is addressed as
quickly as possible, please go to http://gaim.sf.net/bug.php to
re-file with the upstream developers.

Ok. Going to do it. Pasting the URL back here when done. But it may
take as long as 24 hours to make a sf-account...

But why isn't this done automatically? (ie submitting a bug at gaim
here submits a bug at their bugzilla?)

Not all bugs are resolved UPSTREAM, basically we keep stuff open if we
plan to work on it ourselves, if it's on a release blocker list (only
fairly major bugs in core components go there), etc. Also often the
package maintainer knows whether or not upstream is already aware of
the bug, so can avoid dups.

Don't worry, gaim upstream already fix this.  This patch works against
0.81.  I was going to patch our 0.81, but 0.82 is coming on Thursday.
 So I am instead focusing my efforts on verifying all changes going
into 0.82.
