Since that crash is a potentially exploitable buffer overflow, and
severely decreases kopete's usability (most ICQ users will upgrade to
ICQ 5 in the next weeks and will already be using ICQ 5 by the time of
sarge release), I consider this to be a release-critical bug.

This doesn't sound very professional by upstream, pulling support for
an "old" version a mere week after release.
