empathy assert failure: *** glibc detected *** empathy: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08eaf000 ***

Binary package hint: empathy

I received a message, and instead of clicking on it in the indicator applet, I clicked on Empathy in the launcher, and then on the contact that sent me the message. From this moment, the messages I typed appeared in the notification area like if I received them. Then Empathy crashed.
