 Hi!

 At the moment I'm quite unable to use Pidgin due to an immediate,
 reproduceable crash after connecting but before showing the online/offline
 buddies of my ICQ and MSN accounts.

 The problem occurred first when I moved a buddy from one group to another.
 I'm already used to this bug. Pidgin always crashes when I'm doing that,
 but until now I just had to restart Pidgin and everything worked fine.
 After the restart the buddy would also be in the new group.
 Just this time I'm unable to start Pidgin again. Gaim beta6 using the same
 profile data works perfectly.

 Surely - deleting my profile data would solve the problem. But actually I
 don't want to miss all my logged chats, contacts, settings and so on ...

 This is my backtrace I did using gdb:
