 Replying to [comment:9 nickm]:
 > (Let's try this in 0.2.4 first, then backport.  Anything else we can
 test it on? Right now, I am seeing exactly two test reports above.  I have
 no idea what it might break.)

 I agree. It's sad that this may break some apps but it is a reality, so a
 testing phase will be good. I'll also check a few other popular apps and
 get patches rolling if necessary. If someone can provide steps to
 reproduce the pidgin failure for ioerror that'd be awesome, too.
