Can't connect to Jabber server on localhost ("stanza sent before session start")

[thecloud]

I have a Jabber server at localhost:5223 (it's actually not running on the same machine, but rather is port-forwarded via SSH.) Other clients (Adium, mcabber) are able to connect without a problem.

Bitlbee (also running locally, in daemon mode) fails every time after making the connection and authenticating:

00:39 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Connecting
00:39 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Connected to server, logging in
00:39 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Authentication finished
00:39 <@root> jabber - Couldn't log in: Stream error: not-authorized: stanza sent before session start
00:39 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Signing off..

This is on Mac OS X 10.5.8, but Google shows that at least one other person has run into this on Gentoo; see bugs.gentoo.org/238533.

Here are the settings for this account:

00:43 <@thecloud> account set 1
00:43 <@root> auto_connect = `0'
00:43 <@root> auto_reconnect = `true'
00:43 <@root> password is empty
00:43 <@root> username = `thecloud@XXXXXXX.XXXXX.com'
00:43 <@root> port = `5223'
00:43 <@root> priority = `0'
00:43 <@root> resource = `Bitlbee'
00:43 <@root> resource_select = `priority'
00:43 <@root> server = `localhost'
00:43 <@root> ssl = `true'
00:43 <@root> tls = `try'
00:43 <@root> xmlconsole = `true'

Finally, here is the xmlconsole spew (note: I had to replace the beginning of URLs with XXXX's to avoid the spam filter!)

Sorry about that spam filter, spam is such a pain in the hole here that my anti-spam measures are getting in the way of legitimate use. :-((

I've heard of this problem before, it's extremely annoying and the debate about who's wrong is tedious. I guess I'll just make BitlBee wait for a response to the bind first...

changeset:devel,505 should fix this.

Indeed it does!!! No problems connecting now. Thank you very much.
