I was trying to implement support for append hint on xchat as a plugin
in python.
Example code:

import pynotify
pynotify.init("xchat")

def send_msg(msg):
    n = pynotify.Notification("chat alert", "<%s>" % msg,
"notification-message-im")
    n.set_hint_string("x-canonical-append","")
    n.show()

send_msg("hi")


The first message is shown correctly, if a second arrives notify-osd
segfaults with:

** (notify-osd:17364): WARNING **: bubble_append_message_body(): Got
error "Unknown tag 'hi' on line 1 char 13"

** (notify-osd:17364): DEBUG: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000
Segmentation fault

without <> there is no issue

Can you still reproduce this? It works fine here, although
I seemed to be able to reproduce it in February.
