empathy crashed with SIGSEGV in _int_free()

[Sarrvesh]

Tried configuring empathy for my gmail id. I was able to enter my gmail username and password. When I pressed "continue", empathy crashed. When I restarted empathy, it logged into my gmail account and displayed all the contacts who were online. After about 2 seconds, it crashed once again.

thanks for the bug report.
the stacktrace has enough info and we have debug symbols thats helps us to figure out the problem. so thanks again.
i am reporting this bug to upstream you subscribe to that and make comments.

Could you please reproduce in valgrind and attach the log?

[Sarrvesh (sarrfriend)]

Hi Bilal, I have never used Valgrind before. I tried installing vallgrind and ran the command "valgrind empathy". Valgrind then spewed out a huge list of things. Do you want to attach those things to this bug?

[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

this will help you https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind

Hi Bilal,
   I have attached the log obtained through valgrind. Though empathy got killed, I am not sure if it was due to the same issue as this bug.
