           Summary: Kopete has full CPU load (freezes) when receiving a long
                    line
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: matija.suklje at rutka.net


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ 4.1.2 20070214 (  (gdc 0.24, using
dmd 1.020)) (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1) 
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Kopete eats up all the CPU load and freezes when the user receives a long line
of characters.

Steps of reproduction:
* start Kopete
* go online
* let someone send you a very long line (e.g. your girlfriend throwing you a
:******** kiss with a few hundred *'s in it)
* enjoy the CPU load and killing Kopete after it freezes

Expected results:
* show the line
* no freeze, no high CPU usage
* your girlfriend not having the upper hand on remotely crashing your IM any
more ;)

I've only tested this with MSN so far and I managed to reproduce the bug 4 out
of 4 tries.

Interestingly when I *send* an immensely long line it doesn't crash.
