pidgin crashed with SIGSEGV in start_thread()

[Bremm]

Binary package hint: pidgin

Just closed pidgin and few minutes later it was stalled. So I clicked on "X" button (pidgin main window) and apport sent me here.

FYI I have plugins to support skype and facebook also.

Problem is related to skype4pidgin. I'll notify the developer about this issue.

Thank you.

do you still get the issue?

[Bremm (bremm)]

I didn't use the skype4pidgin anymore. I could reinstall it and test it if you wish.

the issue is rather a bug in this skype code than a pidgin bug
