New description:

 Pidgin 2.5.0 consistently crashes when I try to view the tooltip of an AIM
 contact (by holding the mouse over his name for a moment).

 It seems to do with with particular contacts, not every AIM contact.  I
 can only get it to happen with one person (but I cannot rule out more at
 this time).  The contact in question has a screen name that is not unusual
 at all and is a pidgin user.

 I am attaching the crash log, which makes it look like the crash results
 from some string manipulation done in the AIM protocol plug-in.  (Null
 pointer being passed to strlen?)

 Thanks for looking at this!  Let me know if I can provide any additional
 info.
