From #gaim:

Jan 28 14:33:28 <LSchiere>      rizzo: pong
Jan 28 14:33:43 <LSchiere>      same difference
Jan 28 14:33:51 <LSchiere>      you'll need to write a patch
Jan 28 14:34:06 <rizzo> LSchiere: I know I asked earlier but here goes.  Stefan Essar posted an update message to FD list saying the FreeBSD patch opened
up a bug on yahoo.  You know what/where that bug is?
Jan 28 14:34:09 <rizzo> http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-01/1107.html
Jan 28 14:35:04 <LSchiere>      rizzo: he seems to be saying that its only a problem against cvs.
Jan 28 14:36:02 <rizzo> LSchiere: hmm I'm not sure where you see him saying that.  The FBSD patch was for 0.75 code
Jan 28 14:36:18 <LSchiere>      rizzo: in the email he sent to us. i didn't read that url
Jan 28 14:36:55 <LSchiere>      "Basicly I do not know why the patch was broken, because the version of 0.75 I have here is okay. Must have been a problem in the diff against the CVS."
Jan 28 14:37:14 <LSchiere>      reading the url, he's talking about the same thing in both
Jan 28 14:37:23 <LSchiere>      he just didn't give you all as much info as he did us
Jan 28 14:38:57 <rizzo> LSchiere: ok.  well then the problem is that we also use a diff from CVS that was supposed to fix yahoo I guess
Jan 28 14:39:10 <rizzo> LSchiere: don't suppose you know where that code was?
Jan 28 14:39:12 <LSchiere>      yeah i'm fixing the copy sean posted on the website
Jan 28 14:40:09 <LSchiere>      cool. the copy on the website is already fixed
Jan 28 14:40:51 <rizzo> LSchiere: ok I'll diff the patches then
Jan 28 14:41:12 <LSchiere>      rizzo: in the first block of the patch, you need a pos++ as well as a x++
Jan 28 14:41:30 <rizzo> ah
Jan 28 14:41:42 <LSchiere>      +               x++; pos++;
Jan 28 14:41:43 <LSchiere>      instead of just
Jan 28 14:41:43 <LSchiere>      +              x++;
Jan 28 14:41:50 <rizzo> ok see it
Jan 28 14:41:53 <rizzo> yeah wer're missing it
Jan 28 14:41:54 <rizzo> thanks
Jan 28 14:42:14 <LSchiere>      you might want to spread the word to any of the distro maintainers you know
Jan 28 14:42:51 <rizzo> LSchiere: only know myself.  they don't invite me to their other gaim maintainer parties.
Jan 28 14:42:54 <rizzo> :(
Jan 28 14:43:08 <LSchiere>      that's gentoo for you. you all are evil.
Jan 28 14:43:23 <LSchiere>      :-P
Jan 28 14:45:42 <rizzo> LSchiere: yes.  and #gaim will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes ;)
Jan 28 14:47:08 <LSchiere>      you won't be able to catch us, but you can have the rest of the people here :-P

Looks like rizzo didn't do his job and let other distro maintainers (eg. Red
Hat) know.
