Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10
telepathy-gabble:
Installed: 0.16.1-2
Candidate: 0.16.1-2
Version table:

When behind the proxy telepathy-gabble cannot connect to jabber server as the empathy/telepathy framework does not seem to support proxy (see bug 893031). While it tries to connect, telepathy-gabble takes single of CPU cores and generates 100% load (probably polling in endless loop or so).
Also, it is very likely that there's a memory leak in telepathy-gabble as after 10mins of it's process being stuck it takes around 3gigs of virtual memory according to htop's output.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
