Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) on amd64
Thinkpad X61s w/ 4GB RAM
I have a pidgin perl plugin script that functions correctly on a Linux gentoo 32-bit system and a Windows system, but fails on ubuntu 7.10 on amd64. However, rather than risk debugging my own code, I ran a regression against pidgin's default signals_test.pl and encountered a similar issue.
Installing the pidgin signals_test.pl test perl plugin causes pidgin to die when it connects with a segmentation fault.
signals_test.pl is in the pidgin sources in libpurple/
Steps to reproduce:
(1) Copy signals_test.pl int ~/.purple/plugins
(2) Start pidgin
(3) Select Tools->Plugins
(4) Activate the plugin Perl:Signals Test Script in Perl
(5) Log out and log in to an IM account
Other notes:
Testing with variations of signals_test.pl and my own script, registering callbacks seems to function properly, however accessing certain get_* methods off of objects seems to cause a segfault. In particular, most methods that return structs seem to function properly, but methods that return char* seem to segfault.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
