OK, this is an obscure bug that requires precise conditions, but it's a bug nonetheless

Bug:

Sound fails to send and generates a message stating "An error occurred while contacting the server, please try again later. If the problem persists, check your security settings."

Bug only occurs when:

• Sound name starts with #
  
• Sound name is 13 characters long
  
• Sound is sent in the conversation using /sound <full name>

Sending the sound with /sound <hash> or /sound <partial name> works, as does selecting the sound from the sounds panel, it only fails with /sound <fullname>.

I'm sure there must be an easy fix, e.g. checking for a matching sound name in library before assuming it's a hash or maybe disallowing sound names that match that criteria or something

OS/WLM/Plus versions:

Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 (6.0.6001)
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1018
Messenger Plus! Live 4.82.0.368

Confirmed.

Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1 (6.0.6001)
Windows Live Messenger 14.0.0206
Messenger Plus! Live 4.82.0.368

Confirmed - Plus assumes the name is a sound hash before assuming it is a sound name. The order should be the other way round.

Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 (6.0.6002)
Windows Live Messenger 2009 QFE2 (14.0.8089.726)
Messenger Plus! Live 4.82.0.368
