System crash *.pabu restore
Portable iChat create a temporary back-up of ~/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionError, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist, com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist, com.apple.iChat.jabber.plist, com.apple.iChatAgent.plist, and com.apple.iChat.SubNet.plist and ~/Library/Caches/iChat (named *.pabu) that are restored when application is closed. If a
system crash occurred Portable iChat will not restore local iChat preferences and temporary back-up still exist.
