 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 :)
