pidgin crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke()

[Ing0R]

Binary package hint: pidgin

Pingin crashed on reply to a conversation with an ICQ-spammer.

I wonder why this spammer could send me a message in the first place because "ICQ Privacy Options" show "Require authorization" enabled and "Web aware ..." disabled.

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.
