It occurs on both versions. Started on 3.1, I upgraded to 4.0, then the 
other party upgraded to 4.0. In all three cases, the bug has continued 
to occur. I'll happily run a test version but Wireshark doesn't work on 
my configuration.

I'll gladly be the second party though; I created tqm_testing on Yahoo 
Messenger for the purpose of testing and am happy to test with whoever. 
It's configured so that OTR is required to message me and is running 
Off-the-Record Messaging 4.0.0.
