Fixed (I hope) #12284. incomingim_ch2_icqserverrelay() was doing something it wasn't supposed to. I suppose the packet format was reverse-engineered wrongly eons ago. The correct packet format can be found at http://iserverd.khstu.ru/oscar/message.html (and also in every open-source OSCAR client I could get my hands on). The funny thing is that before #12284 showed up everything worked right due to another bug. I'm too lazy to type out all the details, so I'll just include a reference to my conversation with Mark Doliner: http://www.pidgin.im/nopaste/102

SILC Purple Plugin
==================

This is the Purple protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet
Live Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include SILC into Purple, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell Purple's ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the SILC Toolkit cannot be found then the SILC protocol plugin will
not be compiled.
