 Not sure what the issue is.  I was using Pidgin fine for a few weeks, and
 last week it started crashing constantly.  It is using almost 200MB of
 memory on a rgeular basis.  Pidgin will crash whenever I follow a hyper
 link that was sent to me.  It also crashes if I try to disable a chat
 account that is active.  Other times, it just seems to crash for no
 reason.  It also has a tendency to run slow.  I will see up to a 30 second
 lag in messages I am typing.  I have recently checked for malware,
 viruses, and even defragged my system.  I am not experiencing these issues
 with any other app, or the other apps that use GTK, only Pidgin.  I am
 using AIM, Jabber and GroupWise chat protocols.

 I am wondering if a recent windows update caused this.  I installed the
 debug version, and am attaching the output.  Sorry this is so vague, but
 the issue is limited to Pidgin, and I'm at a bit of a loss myself.
