Comment 4 for bug 1637179

So, I took the latest stable sources form the HexChat website, compile it and create a .deb package using these steps http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html , and now I am running without a crash for almost one week 24h/24.

So I really wish for a new official ubuntu package up-to-date.

Meanwhile, you should try this too if you've got the same trouble.
