What happens is that after some time the chat application can no longer
connect to the mDNS server. This happens with Empathy, Gajim and Pidgin.

However when this happens avahi-daemon is still running:

steko at cycnus:~$ ps ax | grep avahi
 6078 ?        Ss     0:00 avahi-daemon: running [cycnus.local]
 6079 ?        Ss     0:00 avahi-daemon: chroot helper
 6097 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/avahi-dnsconfd -D

If I run the same tests you gave me before, I can publish a service
test at test and if I browse for it, it's there.

It happens also that I can see a friend online through avahi-browse, but
not in the GUI chat application... Strange indeed.
