Shortly after this message was posted, my version of AIM would crash immediately after signing on.  I would restart it 
and sign on again, but it would still crash.  I was lead into believing that I was the victim of a DOS exploit because 
AIM would not crash if I would wait an extended period of time before signing on again... as if someone was waiting for 
me, but got bored and became distracted with something (or someone?) else.  Once I stay on for a certain length of 
time, I get booted and the cycle starts again.
I reinstalled the software multiple times.
Here is a dump of the crash:
