#5504: Pidgin crashes when going through an ssh tunnel/socksv5
-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  grossetti                            |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new                                  |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)                         |    Version:  2.4.1 
 Keywords:  pidgin gnome ssh tunnel socks proxy  |    Pending:  0     
-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 I have to use a ssh tunnel to use my IM, email, web. I create it like so :

 {{{ssh -ND localhost:8080 my.ssh.server.here}}}

 I then tell gnome to use localhost and port 8080 as a socks proxy.

 then I run pidgin, it crashes and I get a message telling me to create a
 ticket. I'm running :

  * pidgin 2.4.1 on linux (kernel 2.6.23-3)
  * gnome 2.20.3
  * openssh 4.7p1 (OpenSSL 0.9.8g)

 I re-compiles pidgin with the debugging on, but it still doesn't give much
 info. It must be because my other libs don't have it on. I know this isn't
 going to be useful, but here it is :
