 What to do if Pidgin crashes ¶
 Download and install the debug version of Pidgin for Windows. The next
 time you run Pidgin and it crashes, the call stack will be dumped to a
 pidgin.RPT file in your Pidgin install directory (usually C:\Program
 Files\Pidgin). When submitting a bug report, give a detailed description
 on how to reproduce your bug and attach the most recent crash dump from
 your pidgin.RPT. Note that each new crash dump will append to the file,
 not overwrite, so the file may grow to be quite large if you let it
 accumulate.
 The Microsoft Windows "Error Report" isn't useful in any way; please do
 not include it in the bug report.
 Obtaining a Debug Log ¶
 If asked to obtain a debug log, the following steps will help you do so.
 If Pidgin isn't crashing, you can use the Debug Window (Help->Debug
 Window) to obtain the debug log output.
 If Pidgin is crashing, you can save the debug output to a file by opening
 a Command Prompt window and starting Pidgin as follows:
 (You should replace C:\Program Files\Pidgin with the path to which you
 installed Pidgin if it is different)
 cd "C:\Program Files\Pidgin"
 pidgin.exe -d > debug.log
 This will cause the debug output to be saved in a file called debug.log.
