I just experienced the same: gaim was running in the background, I was working in a gnome-terminal, when suddenly the crash agent popped up.

[Gláuber Gonçalves (glaubergoncalves)]

   I have a similar issue. Gaim crashed in the backround when I was using Firefox, with many tabs openned. The system was already very slow then, almost non-responsive. I also had Evolution, BitTorrent (uploadind) and Rhythmbox working on backround. My report goes attached below.

[Thomas Schwinge (tschwinge)]

This never happened again to me.

Edgy and gaim are not supported anymore. Please open a new bug if you get a crash with pidgin in a later version of Ubuntu.
