Seems to occur when notifying new emails for one of the accounts
(only when starting the application).

Now that I cleared the messages I'm able to run pidgin.

HTH

Another crash, maybe related to the first one.

I'll attach the gdb-pidgin file obtained after installing the pidgin-dgbsym & gdb pidgin

The entry

 to_name = 0x876be90 "Ⱦv\<email address hidden>"

is garbled and the error is related to parsing ...

Has any of you been able to reproduce this with an up to date Ubuntu system ?

[melkor (reqage)]

Not since any of the updates.
