Bug#877048: sendxmpp: sometimes goes into an infinite loop

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

Package: sendxmpp
Version: 1.23-1.1
Severity: normal

Above is part of the output of "top" which shows sendxmpp in an infinite loop.

I don't know why it did that and haven't seen it happen in test situations yet.

Strace shows that it's not making any system calls, so something in the Perl
code is looping without doing any system calls.
