I seem to be missing the part where the "DoS" happens... to me, it just sounds like Gaim chokes up with a lot of smilies in one message. Very definitely *not* a DoS attack.

Seriously. Don't turn everything into something sexist. Go get hit by a bus, eat a bullet, just do something to leave this world. I hope you die.

Seriously.

Don’t turn everything into something sexist. Go get hit by a bus, eat a bullet, just do something to leave this world.

My colleagues make fun out of it, and send me messages like: "hihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi..." at first it's really funny to see the sound deteriorate with the sheer length of message, but that managed to crash my gaim once later. I never turn it on again anymore. Not entirely equivalent, but I’ve experienced similar issue with a gaim plugin as well: gaim-festival, which turns IM text into speech and speak it out.
