Crash with pidgin using SILC protocol

Sat Sep 4 14:31:47 EDT 2010

Hi,
I'm using the official SILC client and when i send a file to a pidgin
user using this command :
/file send /path/file Nickname -no-listener

I got a crash of Pidgin and a segmentation fault, after he accepts the
file.

If i remove the -no-listener parameter, the user is only disconnected
from the server.

Here are some informations i could retrieve from the logs :

The problem was discovered on Pidgin 2.6.6 and is still here in the
2.7.3 pidgin version.

I hope you could do something with this informations.
Good luck
