Bug Description

I worked with the Guardian Project developers in testing Gibberbot. We
believe we discovered an issue with how jabberd2 handles empty responses
that contain Base64 padding only. Please note, we have not checked the
RFC as we haven't had the available cycles. We figured someone here
could answer it better. Below is the URI to the relevant message to the
GP list.

This issue occured across multiple packages on both CentOS and Debia.

Fix for Bug #899284 (ab31b8edb6a2df2) possibly fixes this issue.
Could you verify using 2.2.15?

I will test this on Debian Squeeze this weekend. I will use the latest tarball and compile from source with a PostgreSQL backend. Please ping me if I don't get back to you by COB on Monday.
