If the read() in resolved() fails, we should detect the failure and set size (which it would otherwise set, since it is passed by reference) to 0 and res to NULL. This ''may'' fix a rather odd crash described in Adium Trac #6623 (http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/6623), and it is certainly good sanity checking.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
