I am having this same issue, and I also know how to reproduce it. This issue occurs anytime you send an offline message to an MSN contact who was originally online. So for example, send a few messages to an MSN contact while she is online, then after she goes offline, send an offline message to her in the same window. Pidgin will start consuming all the memory on the system, and will eventually crash. I think it may be caused by or related to this bug: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7508 . That bug has yet to be fixed; it was only closed due to inactivity after 14 days.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope with all updates.
