Rest of SF Patch #1559532 from Mike Stoddard
Fixes SF Bug 1520965
Fixes SF Bug 1544012
"This is patch to fix connection problems in the Novell
protocol plugin. It should fix bugs 1520965 and 1544012."
"The two bugs are both connection problems. Unfortunately the
plugin is designed to be a little too synchronous so
non-blocking i/o causes problems for it. The fix is to retry
a little longer in nm_read_all and to not disconnect if
errno is EAGAIN after processing an incoming response or
event. When I get more time I will work on making the plugin
more asynchronous so that we don't have to block in
nm_read_all. For now however this patch will get people
working again. Any suggestions/comments are welcome."
I consulted with Daniel on this one, and I'm committing it as a temporary fix, since Mike says he's going to fix it for real later.

If you plan to use gaim SVN, PLEASE read this message in its entirety! Gaim is a fast-moving project with a somewhat regular release schedule. Due to the rate of gaim development, SVN undergoes frequent bursts of massive changes, often leaving behind brokenness and partial functionality while the responsible developers rewrite some portion of code or seek to add new features. What this all boils down to is that SVN _WILL_ sometimes be broken. Because of this, we ask that users who are not interested in personally tracking down bugs and fixing them (without a lot of assistance from the developers!) avoid SVN and use releases. Since releases will be made often, this should not prevent anyone from using the newest, shiniest features -- but it will prevent users from having to deal with ugly development bugs that we already know about but haven't gotten around to fixing. If you are interested in hacking on gaim, please read README and HACKING, and take note of the issues in PROGRAMMING_NOTES. (Note that they may be somewhat out of date at times.) Win32 developers, please read README.mingw. By far the best documentation, however, is the documented code. Not all parts of gaim have yet been documented, but the major subsystems are falling fast. If you have doxygen, you can use the Doxyfile in the toplevel directory to generate pretty documentation. Otherwise (or even if you do!), the header files for each subsystem contain documentation for the functions they contain. For instance, conversation.h contains documentation for the entire gaim_conversation_* API, and account.h contains documentation for the gaim_account_* API. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the gaim developers by email at gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, on IRC at irc.freenode.net in #gaim, or via the sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim. Please do as much homework as you can before contacting us; the more you know about your question, the faster and more effectively we can help you! Send patches to gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or post them in the Sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim.
