Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

I still have a 3-4 crash everyday in Intrepid. I will see if I can reproduce
the same bug.

I've yet to capture a crash in Intrepid, I played around with other distro for a period, and is switching to Jaunty
I think this is not a Intrepid specific bug, as pidgin always quit unexpectedly.

I m unable to reproduce the problem by myself
It just happen randomly, so I simply started pidgin and let it run...
Pidgin eventually crashed after a few hours, but the log file is almost 30Mb
