[gaim-migrate @ 17711] This should prevent D-BUS from having to deal with any non-UTF-8 strings emitted by Gaim signals, which should therefore prevent its early exit. Strings will be salvaged via gaim_utf8_salvage before emission, and an error will be logged. IRC (and any other protocols spitting out invalid UTF-8 to signals) should yet be fixed to emit some sort of binary blob, rather than a UTF-8 string, but this will make D-BUS robust to any future transgressions. This is completely untested. committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
