Comment (by eperez):

 khc, this is _not_ a duplicate of #2273.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 This is not a memory allocation error, but a use of g_return_if_reached()
 to test for network received data (that MSN sometimes sends badly) and
 makes pidgin crash when G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals is set.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 You should not be using g_return_if_reached(), but to assert that code is
 correct not to check that received data from the network is OK.
