Sending chat messages crashes in Vista

Description

Attempting to send a chat message crashes the program. I'm using the 0.4.2 release on Windows Vista Business on an x86 machine. This happens on both remote and local hosts. There's no debugging symbols but here's the exception caught by Visual Studio:

Unhandled exception at 0x773a2086 in Gobby.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x650b67f1.

There are debug builds at http://arbur.net/stuff/gobby-0.4.2-dbg.zip. However, they have been created with mingw, so you probably need gdb rather than the Visual Studio Debugger to get a (hopefully) useful backtrace.

I stepped through the code using gdb, on a remote Vista system. However, gdb itself crashes when it comes to the critical position. I think I will try doing a gobby build with MSVC in the next few days, to see whether it has the same problem.
