---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  adamw          |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new            |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)   |    Version:  2.2.1 
 Keywords:  TGA BuddyIcon  |    Pending:  0     
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Steps to reproduce (not reduced)
 Build pidgin 2.2.1 from source on Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty
 with the following configure options:  ./configure -enable-dbus -enable-nm

 Add an account for MSN, Yahoo, AIM, and ICQ
 Set the buddy icon for the MSN account to the default postcard.
 Leave all others as default (no icon)
 In main "Buddy List" window, click on the default postcard.
 Select a tga file with the following specs
  8510 bytes
  image/x-tga
  filename adz_block_face_blueA.tga
  256x256 pixels, RGB
  created by GIMP 2.2

 Result:
 Pidgin has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
 This is a bug in the software and has happened through
 no fault of your own.

 If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the developers
 by reporting a bug at:
 http://developer.pidgin.im/simpleticket/

 Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time
 and post the backtrace from the core file.  If you do not know
 how to get the backtrace, please read the instructions at
 http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/GetABacktrace

 If you need further assistance, please IM either SeanEgn or
 LSchiere (via AIM).  Contact information for Sean and Luke
 on other protocols is at
 http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/DeveloperPages
 Aborted (core dumped)

 Expected behavior:
 If Pidgin does not like TGA files, it should fail more gracefully.
