pidgin Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) after recent update

[Dyno (dyno-fu)]

i donnot think this is a duplicated bug of #187604, i did not do any add/remove account operation.

as a workaround, i start the pidgin using strace, it won't quit like that.

[Joachim Beckers (jbeckers)]

well, the add account operartion is not the thing that triggers the crash, so I do think this is the same bug.

Ok, this is weird, I got the same bug.....Are you running hardy by any chance?

[Jurriaan (jurriaan)]

I have the same problem :(

[Jurriaan (jurriaan)]

It works here after starting it in gdb and pressing c after every SIGTRAP. Weird Problem

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

(gdb) c
Continuing.

(re)moving ~/.purple and ~/.pidgin worked for me
