Comment 23 for bug 1245666

Well I am seeing something odd in Pidgin.

$ ps -elf | grep defunct | wc -l
121
$ ps -elf | grep defunct | grep pidgin | wc -l
120

(One of the 'defunct' hits is the grep)

$ pidgin --version
Pidgin 2.10.12 (libpurple 2.10.12)

I have IRC, and XMPP to GoogleMail (Hangouts / Talk) configured and active in Pidgin at the moment. Someone else mentioned Google Hangouts and I can easily live without for a few days to see if the problem goes away. Account Disabled.

I also have Facebook (XMPP), Skype (D-Bus) and Skype setup with Pidgin but only the IRC and googlemail chat accounts were enabled when this error was noticed. I shall try closing Pidgin to clean up the defuncts.
