empathy crashs with SIGSEGV in event_manager_add() on status events

[Benjamin Schmid]

Binary package hint: empathy

After upgrading to Natty Empathy starts to crash on a _very regular_ base. It seems that every status event triggers a SIGSEV crash. In the case reported in this bug report I had an active Skype chat conversation using the libpurple pidgin-skype plugin and Empathy crashs on every contact becoming online, available and offline.

I installed the empathy debugging symbols for this report. Hope this helps. Thanks for your support!
