nope, this is /usr/sbin/pymsnt:
cd /home/norman/src/svn/PyMSNt.trunk
exec -a PyMSNt python src/main.py

I'm pretty sure that this error only occurs when the transport fails
to connect to MSN for some reason.

Today I restarted my pc, and on reconnect I got:
'Disconnected from MSN servers: [Failure instance: Traceback (failure
with no frames): twisted.internet.error.ConnectionLost: Connection to
the other side was lost in a non-clean fashion.
]'
, then when I tried to reconnect I got the:
'Failed to connect to MSN servers: [Failure instance: Traceback:
exceptions.ImportError: No module named kqsyscall
--- <exception caught here> ---
src/main.py:15:?
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/internet/kqreactor.py:69:?
]'

I'm pretty sure that this error is 'left over' from the startup, so
there's no real stack trace at all.  I think a few sys.exc_clear()'s
might be in order.  I've found that python doesn't keep track of where
the exception applies to so well.  I've added the exc_clear's in
main.py, and we'll see how it goes.
