Binary package hint: xchat

Steps to reproduce:
1: start xchat
2: let xchat run continuously for several hours. [around 5-6 hrs min]
3: After several hours , Now close xchat.

Problem:
Xchat freezes and does not close
- it starts using high cpu and just remains

Workaround:
Force quit xchat.

This has been happening for over a month now , and i'm not sure which update this started with. But earlier [on lucid] it was working properly , this is a regression that I'm noticing.

I wasnt sure how to report this earlier, hence the delay.

To attain the crash report , I used $kill -11 <xchat PID>
