Unable to start Pidgin, from gnome menu, when I try to start it from the terminal I get: *** glibc detected *** pidgin: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0813ecd8 ***
followed by a backtrace. Have include the whole terminal message in attachment.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package with the same outcome.
Also have included valgrind log and xsessions log.
