Comment (by jkczyz):

 I get a similar crash in Pidgin 2.0.1 while using an AIM account.  It
 happens seemingly on random occasions.  The following is in the RPT file:

 I have been unable to obtain a debug log.  Is there any way of writing to
 a debug log without having the Command Prompt window visible?
