xchat crashes with SIGSEGV in g_str_hash() when closing conversation windows

[Māris Fogels]

XChat often crashes when I close a pop-up or detached conversation window.

I have not been able to come up with a series of steps to reliably reproduce this bug. It somehow involves starting a conversation in a new xchat dialog window, then closing the conversation window. The following steps reproduced the error some of the time:

1. Start xchat
2. Join a randomly named channel: '/join #crashtest'
3. Hit Ctrl-i to detach the window
4. Close the newly opened window with the X button or with Ctrl-w
5. SIGSEGV in g_str_hash()

I have attached a stacktrace demonstrating the crash.
