Running pidgin like that for some time (about 10 minutes) I got up to 4 zombies. Then I waitet 3-4 minutes and no update in the log appeared. But then the number increased to 5 zombies and these lines were written in the log (replacing sensitive data by ZZZ):

=========================

Also interesting: greping the full log, I see exactly 5 attempts to do an DNS lookup for irc.ZZZ.ZZZ...

Do we have the culprit already found?

(I'll disable the account which is trying to connect irc.ZZZ.ZZZ now to see if that helps...)
