The logjam client has a utility to create and maintain an offline copy of one's LiveJournal. However, there's a bug that causes it to crash whenever one attempts to sync. Fix: LiveJournal user daviticus (David Charlton) submitted a patch that works on 4.x systems. Tested against 5.2 as well; it ought to work everywhere (also tested on Mac OS X 10.3 :) ). How-To-Repeat: Sync your journal. Wait for a while. Watch it dump core.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, thanks!
