Problem with kmess hanging, then closing

On Linux, my MSN client of choice is kmess. I've been using it fine for around 6 months, if not more. But recently in the past 2 days whenever i open it, it just hangs, greys out, closes then prompts me with an error information style box.

It allows me to sign in but then straight after it closes.

Picture of it greying out.





We are sorry, KMess closed unexpectedly.
You can help us improve KDE Software by reporting this error.

Note: It is safe to close this dialog box if you do not want to report this bug.

Details:
Executable: kmess PID: 1991 Signal: 6 (Aborted)

I've Googled the error to no avail.

I tried uninstalling, then reinstalling - that didn't work.

I also tried an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, to no avail.

I have no idea why it just stopped working, i can't remember changing anything.
