Hello,[[BR]]
If one tries to send huge number of animated smileys (like [http://gnome-
look.org/content/show.php/Gaim%2BPidgin+port+Gadu-
Gadu+smileys?content=56791 those]) Pidgin crashes right after hitting
enter or (if there already are plenty emots in the message window) it
crashes while pasting.
'''IT'S ALWAYS REPRODUCABLE'''[[BR]]
'''STEPS TO REPRODUCE:'''[[BR]]
1. Install [http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gaim%2BPidgin+port
+Gadu-Gadu+smileys?content=56791 Gadu gadu icon set].[[BR]]
2. Open message window.[[BR]]
3. Put 3 or 4 animated icons. Select all of them, ctrl-c and hold ctrl+v
to fill about 4-5 lines.[[BR]]
4. Hit eneter.[[BR]]
5. Enjoy the segfault ;)[[BR]]
I couldn't reproduce it with static iconsets. I suspect that when a chat
or message window contains a lot of animated emoticons it is very likely
to crash pidgin (I experienced some random segfaults, but couln't trace
any usefull info - this might be the reason). [[BR]]
GDB didn't produce any usefull information after segfault (I followed
carefully the debbuging how-to) - only the '??' marks.[[BR]]
Thanks in advance for your effort to trace the bug :)
