No but the version of claws in FC14 is buggy as **** whenever the
connection is lost and it fails to reconnect.

It may be worth running your live balsa under valgrind if you can
reproduce the problem and can cope with it being a bit slower running.
That may give useful diagnostics on things like memory scribbles - which
are the first guess mess up for threaded apps.
