I used the good old method to track this bug:
1. start with an empty profile
$ LANG= pidgin --config /tmp/.purple_empty
Result: OK
2. Then create a jabber account and restart Pidgin
$ LANG= pidgin --config /tmp/.purple_empty
Result: OK
3. copy the "crash" profile and try to start with it
$ cp -a ~/.purple/ /tmp/.purple_debug
$ LANG= pidgin --config /tmp/.purple_debug
Result: core dumped
4. Remove every file or folder, one by one and try to start
until it stops crashing
No magic behind, but I cannot explain the reason.
I would like to know what is behind it.
