Thanks for going to the trouble of creating the report file, reading the rpt 
file indicates that this is a known bug:
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5662

and that the bug is in a piece of software which pidgin uses:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15761

In this case the Pidgin developers have to wait for a fix from the other 
developers to resolve the issue, sorry.

Within the Pidgin bug report one of the developers suggest trying a newer 
version of the faulty file, if you download:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/cairo-1.6.4-1.zip

then extract it to the folder where the file is (usuaully) installed:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin

reboot the computer and then try again, that might fix the issue.  Please report 
back any success.

Also on the web page I emailed you it suggested creating a ticket on the Pidgin 
website.  If you did that it would most likely be marked as a duplicate as 
someone has already reported the issue.

Regards
Phil
