Pidgin is crashing suddenly with no error message

[Danilo]

Binary package hint: pidgin

Yesterday I did the latest upgrade on my Ubuntu 8.04. I try to update daily.

Now Pidgin is crashing all of a sudden, with no error reports. It just shuts down. This has occurred today about 3 times in a couple of hours. I have running at the same time Firefox, Twhirl, Thunderbird, Rhythmbox, and Skype. All latest stable versions.
