Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
How I Produce the Crash:
1. Launch Pidgin.
2. Double-click a buddy to open a new chat window.
3. Enter some text.
4. Hit Enter.
5. Crash. All windows close. Inspecting /var/log/syslog reveals a segfault has occurred.
Here are the log entries produced by five such crashes:

BTW: At least one of the five crashes occurred while I was typing the message (didn't even have to hit Enter).
