What steps will reproduce the problem? (Please state what you did, what you are expecting to happen, and what actually happens)

1. Play any track in foobar2000 with long enough artist field with non-latin and non-local symbols (in my case it was "ひだまりのみんな(ゆの・宮子・ヒロ・沙英・吉野屋先生・校長先生・うめ先生)")
2. Wait for musictracker to recognise it
3. Enjoy hanging Pidgin and full load of one processor core

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Pidgin is hanging unless other track is played AND musictracker recognises it (it still hangs for a bit after track change). After detecting that other track, everything's back to normal.

What version of musictracker are you using? What version of pidgin are you using? On what operating system?

musictracker 0.4.22 Pidgin 2.7.7 (libpurple 2.7.7) on gtk 2.10.0 Windows XP x64 (updated)

What media player are you using? foobar2000 v1.1

What IM protocol(s) are you using? Jabber, ICQ

Please attach or paste output from pidgin's Help/Debug Window (be careful to remove any protocol usernames you don't want made public) Attached

I tried other possible variations - very long utf track name, very long latin artist, very long cyrillic artist (my locale is set to Russian) - nothing caused a hang except long utf artist. Disabling status filtering doesn't do much too. Also, regarding the log - <<<JID3>>> is the only account that supports now playing, if that can help.
