[kopete] ICQ login hangs - change of state segfaults

Greetings:

N.B. 1) On Gentoo based system.
2) (and likely the issue I'm dealing with) I have load balanced internet uplinks from an internal firewall through two different internet providers.

Yahoo -- logs in no problem, occaisionally times out and logs back in with out issue.
MSN -- No Problems --- works a charm.
ICQ.
Login startup appears to HANG on the connection... If I use ethereal and iptraf to watch the traffic, I'm getting to the login server, and getting pointed to a different server for the connection. The second connection request goes out the other network link and gets reset by the server I'm pointed at

1) iptables is INDEED correctly setup. It is handling masquerading on the dynamic IP and hard sets the source IP going out the door on all packets leaving the network based on the IP of the link the packet is leaving on. No my upstream is not bouncing the packets for having wrong source IP.

2) the load balance on the uplink is behaving correctly, sending a new conection out the alternate link since it is to a different IP address. If the same Ip was getting routed out different interfaces I'd have a problem.

ISSUE:
licq in this case reports the connection reset by peer correctly, and barfs on the connect. Kopete does NOT it appears to spend hours trying to connect to the server, when the connection thread has died silently. If I attempt to change the state of the ICQ connection once this state is entered Kopete segfaults and dies horribly.

QUESTIONS:

Has anyone on the kopete team such a network setup on which to test?
Given this is Gentoo system, any options I can compile kopete with that will produce more information in the debug output?

Do any of the developers here see this as bug material?

Same thing for me, except that I am running Ubuntu Dapper and my traffic is routed over three ISP uplinks (with static routings according to port numbers). It worked again about an hour ago, but then broke after five minutes. I never encountered a Kopete segfault over the last months, it always worked on this kind of network configuration.
