Not that I'm aware of.

Use a different resource for your two Adium configurations.  If you log
in with the same resource as another connection, the old connection gets
booted.  The #1 most common Jabber client bug is (for clients which
auto-reconnect) not to recognize this form of booting and to reconnect,
creating the cycling you noticed above.  The version of Adium you're
running (which may be the version we're distributing; not sure)
apparently has this bug.
