This crash is fixed in telepathy-gabble 0.16.2 (but best to update to 0.16.3).

Hello Anders, or anyone else affected,

Accepted telepathy-gabble into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-gabble/0.16.0-0ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Our current SRU policy indicates that this should also be fixed in Quantal, which it is not. However, the Ubuntu release team will be having a discussion regarding this policy and whether or not it still makes sense. Subsequently, I've accepted this into precise-proposed pending the outcome of that discussion.

Looking at the error bucket I previously mentioned one does not see 0.16.0-0ubuntu3 in the list of packages which indicates that this crash was indeed fixed. Subsequently, I am setting the tag to verification-done.
