>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.
