pidgin on SL6 -- "Read Error" connecting to Microsoft Lync Server

I got this after a restart and had forgotten the fix! Run pidgin setting this variable as a workaround for the problem:

NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0 pidgin

This is in the Pidgin SIPE plugin FAQ but I needed to look it up again, so it's here as a reminder to myself for next time :)
