Package: gossip
Version: 1:0.30-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

There are two problems with this package; I'm not sure if they are related.

First is very large network traffic. This is a known bug and already fixed in
1:0.31-1, see also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545451

Second problem is that occasionally, gossip uses 100% cpu and is unresponsive. 
On my system, this occurs about 30 minutes after starting the package and lasts
for about one minute; after that, gossip is suddenly idle and behaves as normal
again. I'm not sure if this is a known bug (or if it is related to the network
traffic issue), but it seems to be fixed in 1:0.31-1 from unstable as well.

Marked this bug as Grave / Renders package unusable, since the admin of the
jabber server ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) told me that if all users of his server would 
use
this package, the server would die due to the amount of traffic. Would be nice
if 1:0.31-1 could make it into testing before the next release.
