I'm running ichat on my macbook and my imac (both using 10.5.5) Recently on my imac i've been having trouble logging in. I contacted apple support and they asked me to delete the plist and then reinstall ichat. I did this but still had the same trouble. Then i used my installation disk and reinstalled ichat that way. I can now log and see my buddy list but whenever i go to send an IM ichat crashes. Apple support asked me to update to 10.5.6 but ichat works fine on my laptop using 10.5.5.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I would take Apple's advice and upgrade to 10.5.6. Being as they are different machines, they have different hardware.
 
Agreed, update

I'd also suggest trying to update. Are you sure you're logged in to AIM/Jabber when you send the IM?

I'm running 10.5.6 and it's not a bad update. Is there any reason why you're avoiding it?
