Bitlbee hangs on buddy list request when compiled with OpenSSL

Description

Using nightly build 337 of bitlbee, when compiled with openssl and connecting to the jabber.org xmpp server, bitlbee hangs after requesting the buddy list from the server. And xmlconsole trace indicates that no buddy list is being received. However, when compiled with gnutls, this same server and setup receives the buddy list perfectly fine. Hardware is Macbook Pro 17" Core Duo running Mac OS 10.5. Bitlbee is running as nobody from a launchd script.

Bah, can't reproduce, I guess it's because I'm "still" on 10.4. There are similar problems on Gentoy BTW. I guess there's some new version of OpenSSL that doesn't like the way BitlBee uses it. Even though my Debian testing system has exactly the same version but doesn't have this problem at all...

Could reproduce here on debian etch with bitlbee 1.2. With my google talk account, no problem, but with another account (an ejabberd server, don't remember the exact version but could find out), it hangs when getting the buddy list if compiled against openssl, it's ok with gnutls. Same issue if I use SSL on dedicated port or TLS.

I have: /ctcp version says: BitlBee 1.2 Linux/i686 gnutls 1.4.4-3 openssl 0.9.8c-4etch1 cpuinfo says: model name : VIA Esther processor 2000MHz

Ok, interesting. Can I have an account on that server? I tried reproducing this with a @jabber.org account but without success. :-(

Please do note that the OpenSSL module is officially unsupported. GnuTLS is the best option.

Yay. Turns out the size of the contact list is more important than the OpenSSL version or whatever. Problem solved in changeset:devel,359.
