[gaim-migrate @ 15099] This should work around a bug where receiving a null byte over irc would basicly make gaim ignore all further input on that irc connection, eventually resulting in a ping timeout. Since you can't see null bytes, This was actually pretty weird and confusing. Of course, IRC should never send a client a null byte. But we're doing some odd things with irc at work, so... committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
