crashed while adding MSN user

[Andy Stanford-Clark]

Binary package hint: pidgin

If I do Buddies -> Add Buddy...
select MSN
enter some text (e.g. an MSN id, but anything is fine)
add an alias (some text)

Click "add".

Pidgin exits with a segv

If I don't type anything in the optional alias box, it works fine.

This is pidgin 2.5.0 on Hardy

Hi Pedro,
