[OTR-users] OTR suddenly not connecting

I changed my Pidgin settings to only connect to one ICQ account, then
exited it and started it again with "pidgin -d > out.txt".

The initial connecting bit is about 370 lines.
After that I took note of the log contents and tried "OTR: Start private
conversation" and it added these lines to the log:

-----
(22:34:29) oscar: Sending IM, charset=0x0000, length=290
(22:34:29) oscar: rate change (param ID 0x0001): curavg = 6000, maxavg =
6000, alert at 2000, clear warning at 2500, limit at 1500, disconnect at
800, delta is 569460, dropping is 0 (window size = 80)
(22:34:29) oscar: Sent message to 123456789.
-----

Then I sent over a message including only a single question mark and got
basically these very similar lines (note the msg is much shorter -
apparently 59 bites just to send my one-character message):

-----
(22:38:33) oscar: Sending IM, charset=0x0000, length=59
(22:38:33) oscar: rate change (param ID 0x0001): curavg = 6000, maxavg =
6000, alert at 2000, clear warning at 2500, limit at 1500, disconnect at
800, delta is 813740, dropping is 0 (window size = 80)
(22:38:33) oscar: Sent message to 123456789.
-----

While I was typing up this email I notice a couple more lines getting
added to the log:

-----
(22:40:17) oscar: Scheduling destruction of FLAP connection 022C1BC0 of
type 0x0010
(22:40:17) oscar: Destroying FLAP connection 022C1BC0
(22:40:17) oscar: Destroying oscar connection (022C1BC0) of type 0x0010. 
Disconnect reason is 4
(22:40:17) oscar: Disconnected.  Code is 0x0000 and msg is Remote host
closed connection.
-----

Note that my private conversation has yet to start up, even after multiple
clickings on "Start private conversation" and multiple simple messages to
try to get it started.

Thanks for looking into this!
