 Version:  2.2.2   |    Keywords:

 Randomly Pidgin crashes soon after I start it. I was running 2.2.1 so in
 hopes of fixing the problem I upgraded to 2.2.2 and the problem still
 exists. I ran pidgin -d in terminal and it starts then crashes and says
 aborted.

 I ran a backtrace and these are the results

 {{{

 (gdb) handle SIGPIPE nostop
 Signal        Stop      Print   Pass to program Description
 SIGPIPE       No        Yes     Yes             Broken pipe
 }}}

 call failed
 *** glibc detected *** /usr/local/bin/pidgin: malloc(): memory corruption:
 0x088ee828 ***

 Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
 [Switching to Thread -1223235392 (LWP 10926)]

 Can someone help me fix this?
