Crash when editing account name

[Marcel Miebach]

Binary package hint: empathy

I have a fresh Karmic x86_64 installation.
I added three jabber-accounts in empathy and wanted to edit its names after seeing the standard name was "Neuer Jabber Account" (german user). After the second edit the program freezed and crashed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to rename an active Google Talk account. If the account is disabled, Empathy doesn't crash.
