gaim seems to crash randomly

[Richard Brooklyn]

Binary package hint: gaim

Gaim seems to crash fairly randomly on my edgy set-up. It sometimes crashes when I'm not even there.

It does, however crash a lot more frequently with one specific contact more than any other. I only ever use gaim for MSN conversation only. The other contact has the 'offical' MSN client ("Windows live messenger" these days, right?). It seems that every line this contact tries to send me tends to cause gaim to segfault. gaim doesn't even show the said line in it's window before it crashes, and there is nothing in the logs to show anything was ever said to me. So my hunch is that something is going wrong between my contact pressing enter, and gaim trying to show the message.

Version: 1:2.0.0+beta3.1-1ubuntu9

I shall attach a backtrace. This is the very first backtrace I've ever done. Hopefully it's of some use with this frustrating bug.

This backtrace shows the gaim crash I'm talking about. I've changed the actual contact's address to "<email address hidden>"
