I can confirm this in Intrepid as well. I had to restart pulseaudio after resuming from hibernate, and pidgin's memory usage went through the roof. I was at 96% of 3.2 GB RAM and 50% of 8 GB swap. pkill -sigkill pidgin made my memory use drop to 30% and swap drop to 12%. This bug should be marked critical because it brings the system to its knees almost immediately and it is essentially impossible to set straight without completely killing pidgin.
