Well, there are three args that I can see:

	ARG	DEFINITION	WHERE
	format	0x6a3cdf0 "Unable to connect to %s: %s"	Printed by gdb
	First arg to g_strdup_vprintf	(gfud->website.address ? gfud- 
 >website.address : "")	Seen in code (line 3384)
	Second arg to g_strdup_vprintf	0xbfffe868 "Error resolving  
msvrf.yahoo.com:\nNo address associated with nodename"	Printed by gdb  
(as arg to url_fetch_connect_cb)

This is as of r358, the version used by b19. (r359 makes no changes  
in the libgaim/src directory.)

My best guess is that gfud->website.address (gfud being connect_data- 
 >data in gaim_proxy_connect_data_disconnect) is a non-NULL but  
invalid pointer.

Which means that the question is: How did connect_data->data- 
 >website.address come to be a bogus pointer?
