Binary package hint: xchat-gnome

I was trying to change my nick by clicking on my nick to the left of the text input entry. Upon typing a new nick and hitting the Enter key, crashing ensued.

I tried to go /away on all the networks i'm on. xchat-gnome crashed.

This bug cannot be closed. There is a crasher bug in a program in main, happening in very common use cases.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

there's not a good stacktrace of the issue, so yes the bug can be closed until someone send a good stacktrace. thanks.

Attaching valgrind-logs.

[Miia Sample (myrtti)]

To duplicate the behaviour in the valgrind-log:
* log into several networks
* click your nick on the left side of the entry box
* set yourself away on all networks and change your nick.

the issue in this log are libsexy ones, the debug packages for this library are not available though which means there is no debug information, reassing there anyway

That version has died long ago; no more supported
