(I should've said before that I was on Edgy.) A bit more info: Sender (friend) and recipient (me) were each on Gaim on Edgy. When sending my friend a file, he noticed the CPU spike, but cancelled the transfer with no repercussions. He also tested receiving a file from someone over Oscar/AIM who was using AOL's IM client. He had no problems receiving the transfer.
I will do some further testing to try to narrow down what specifically causes this problem. -- [2.0 beta3] Crash when receiving transferred file https://launchpad.net/bugs/61446 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
