Serious MSN Messenger 6.0 bug

[schif]

Does anybody know much about this reported bug in MSN Messenger 6.0:

Zero1 reported this to me soon after MSN Messenger 6.0 leaked and Segosa notified me (through SLim Shady) as well: a simple nickname can crash contact(s) using MSN Messenger 6 on Windows 2k or XP and in some cases yourself, without any further effort!

We decided not to publish the exact nickname, because this would spoil the fun for all people exploring the MSN Messenger 6 beta. Actually, we already told you too much... but we can't kill all of you.

Just be assured that we've notified Microsoft and the bug should be fixed in the next build.

On another note, I tried running the polygamy program for MSN Messenger 6, and during it's installation it tells me:

"This program cannot update the installed version of MSN Messenger Polygamy And Ad Remover because of the following reason: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe: unknown version"

Is anybody else experiencing this?

Thanks

This is strange, the Polygamy installer is referring to your copy of MSN Messenger as "MSN Messenger Polygamy And Ad Remover". Was this file previously patched before?

If you have the original copy of msnmsgr.exe then restore it, and try to install Polygamy again.

By the way, would you mind private messaging me the nickname causing this particular crash? I'm curious to test this myself.
