Nope.
I "fixed" the instability with:
# rpm -e xchat
# yum install konversation
Normally, I would have taken some time to try to find some useful info towards
fixing this, however, in this case it kept crashing while I was in the middle
of some IRC meetings and I didn't have time to deal with it.
The instability had gotten steadily worse with each errata. It was
segfaulting without warning at random points. I never figured out how to
cause the segfault. Don't you just hate that kind of bug?
If I get some time (it'll be about 3 weeks before that's possible), I'll
reinstall xchat and try to get a dump of it's death.
