>Environment:
System: NetBSD slab 1.6ZI NetBSD 1.6ZI (SLAB) #1: Thu Feb 5 22:59:07 PST 2004 bsd@slab:/home/scratch/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SLAB i386

>Description:
Gaim's MSN Messenger module doesn't seem to work as installed.
According to Gaim bug report #825415, this can be fixed using
GnuTLS' internal ASN.1 and LZO support. It may be that this
is indicative of a problem with security/libtasn1 and/or
archivers/liblzo.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile and install gaim-0.75. Try logging in using an MSN
Messenger account. See the login fail.
>Fix:
This can be fixed, as according to Gaim bug report #825415
by rebuilding GnuTLS using the built-in ASN.1 and LZO.
Although perhaps not the most desirable solution, it does
work.
