Fixes a bad MSN bug where passwords with multi-byte utf8 characters near the 16 byte mark would cause a segmentation fault due to chopping the multi-byte character and turning the string into invalidate utf8. Thanks to Shaun Lindsay at Meebo for tracking this down and fixing it.

=head1 NAME

Pidgin - Perl extension for the Pidgin instant messenger.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Pidgin;

=head1 ABSTRACT

    This module provides the interface for using perl scripts as plugins in
    Pidgin, with access to the Pidgin Gtk interface functions.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides the interface for using perl scripts as plugins in Pidgin,
with access to the Pidgin Gtk interface functions. With this, developers can
write perl scripts that can be loaded in Pidgin as plugins. The script can
interact with IMs, chats, accounts, the buddy list, pidgin signals, and more.

The API for the perl interface is very similar to that of the Pidgin C API,
which can be viewed at http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/ or in the header files
in the Pidgin source tree.
