If you run licq with a full filesystem, it trashes your configuration, it can also delete individual contact list items. This is obviously a bug, in a full fs a program may crash, behave weird, forget edits, but *never* trash a config file. The maintainer doesn't think that this is a bug, nor a wishlist, the maintainer thinks that the problem doesn't exist and he closes the bug... Check http://bugs.debian.org/76815 and laugh! =)
