telepathy-gabble flooding system log with messages

Everyday when I boot up, I notice that the systemd-journal process is stuck at 100% cpu

When I run journalctl, I see stuff like :

Feb 19 14:32:41 archaic org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.gabble[454]: (telepathy-gabble:653): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
Feb 19 14:32:41 archaic org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.gabble[454]: This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
Feb 19 14:32:41 archaic org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.gabble[454]: The overwriting error message was: Operation was cancelled
Feb 19 14:32:41 archaic org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.gabble[454]: (telepathy-gabble:653): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.

Hundreds of thousands of these messages with the same timestamp, causing systemd to struggle to log it.

If I run "killall telepathy-gabble", the system settles down.
Strangely the KDE telepathy messenger seems to continue to run fine on the desktop.

How do I cure this?

My kde version is 4.12.1-1

Thanks in advance,
Vivek

Badly written software I guess. Maybe try testing, see if that helps?

Someone had it as well.
