Browser hangs after login if roster has no contacts in hosted mode

[ashward]

If a user logs in without a single contact in the roster (sometimes even with one contact), the browser hangs completely. It must be shut down abrubtly.

In fact it hangs also if:

• the roster has one contacts;
• the login fails.

There must be some timing issue, since sometimes it ends well. Odd odd odd...

Changed summary, because, if I Google-compile the package, it works well...
I suspect it is a problem in the Firefox plugin then.
If I pause the debugger, I see that the input stream is stuck to wait for data.

Glups!! Bad news... :(

Tried with Firefox and IE8 under Windows XP, they both work!
So the problem is only under Linux.
This is bad news, since there is only a Firefox extension for GWT :-(
