When I am logged in to Empathy for X amount of time without using it, Empathy seemingly logs of MSN.
What happens is that the Status-Icon (in the right upper corner of the screen) shows that I am logged of.
The Contacts list shows everyone on the MSN list who is online (or was at the time of the unwanted logout).
But I cannot open a chat, not by double-clicking the contact, nor right-clicking and selecting "chat".

When I open "accounts" to re-log or see if I am logged in, Empathy crashes.
Starting it again, I have a Blank contacts list.
Clicking Accounts gives me the "Welcome to Empathy" window where I have to re-enter all my credentials.
Rebooting the computer (without entering the credentials) logs me in as usual.

I am thinking that Empathy logs off because of a network interruption rather than a specified time. While other programs reconnect Empathy has a problem reestablish connection and crashes.

Thanks for the bug report. Could you please try this with the updates for Lucid to see if it alleviates the issue?
