I did not encounter the bug again.

This bug appears to be happening to people in jaunty alpha 5. A quick search found 4 identically named bugs likely all started by apport. Should they get marked as duplicates of eachother?

Is there any solution for this bug? Because just happened to me again. I have to support Elias theory. I installed from ubuntu 9.04 alpha 5

Well, I think pidgin is becoming highly unstable. Until some 'important' (at least, to me) updates come out, I will be using emesene.

confirmed on jaunty beta
