OpenBSD SRV lookup issues

Description
This keeps happening, now it's apparnetly broken on (some) OpenBSD machines.
Not sure whether there's one easy fix for this, but at least the Jabber module could use some helpful warnings on this problem.

And I'm very much tempted to suggest that this is almost certainly the same culprit as in bug #421

I can confirm that specifying a fix server address for the gtalk account is a valid workaround for this.

FWIW, I've created a patch to make this work on OpenBSD. I'm currently testing it, and it seems to be working. Are you interested in including this fix (or let's say feature)?

See #1098 for a patch to possibly related srv lookup issues

Unfortunatelly, upstream doesn't seem to give a crap about this. We've already integrated a patch in OpenBSD's ports tree; if someone is interested...
What side is upstream? Is that us? I always get confused by those terms.

Are these the patches you mean? (I don't really know much about openbsd)

Hey! We've got a new version of the patch over at #1098, now tested on openbsd! Sorry it took so long!

Fixed by the patch in #1098, which has been merged now, and was tested across several platforms.
If there are any openbsd specific issues, feel free to reopen (or open a new ticket)
Hey Wilmer!
I'm curious about this issue. I'm currently investigating a case where two bitlbees (same versions, same configurations, same accounts...) behaves differently with jabber (gtalk, to be precise). Bitlbee can connect to a GTalk account on Linux, but can not on OpenBSD. I've narrowed it down to the erronous behaviour in the connection initiation, that bitlbee would query the proper 'SRV _xmpp-client...' records on Linux, whereas on OpenBSD it queries an A record for gmail.com, and then tries to connect to the queried IP on port 5222, which results in a failure to connect the GTalk account. Is this the same issue?
