I found a workaround:
defaults write $DOMAIN DisableDataDetectors YES
Credit goes to: http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/index_files/data-detectors-in-ma... The following works for Adium:
defaults write com.adiumX.adiumX DisableDataDetectors YES
ETA: Doesn't seem to persist. Might be sleep/awake or some sort of refresh/timeout. Investigating...
ETA: Yeah... I can't make this stick. So it kinda-sorta works, but is not a real workaround. Guess I'm glad I kept testing it...

Somewhere in the system is a friendly program called "DataDetectors", which sniffes at text so find out if there are links in it which should be highlighted by the application handling the text. Now the programmer who developed DataDetectors wanted to make sure (maybe for tests) that a subcomponent was fed only valid file-urls (that is: file:/// is OK, File:/// not) and therefore inserted an assert-statement. Asserti…
"Someone at Apple forgot a test case feeding text with File:/// to DataDetectors." There's obviously and blatantly a combinatorial explosion of possible inputs into a textbox so it's physically impossible ("physically" as in: "there aren't enough atoms in the universe to build a machine able to handle this) to test all the possible inputs. By your logic when the terrible endless loop in the Java floating-point parsin…
And concerning the Java FP bug: yes, someone forgot to test the corner cases of the Java FP range.
You don't need to test every FP number out there, but you absolutely need the highest, lowest, highest+1, lowest+1, zero, +/-infinity, division by zero and if you are good highest +0, lowest + 0 and some conversions from and to long, int etc.
