New description:

 When I select "Initiate Chat" from the Conversation menu in Pidgin, a
 segment fault occurs. I've only tested this using the MSN protocol.


 {{{

 Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

 This has happened to me ever since I was using Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)
 under Pidign 1.4.2? up to Pidgin 2.5.2 which I'm using now.


 EDIT:

 I played with it in GDB and here's what I got:

 {{{
 ##
 ## Unimportant junk removed
 ##

 # Here's where I clicked "Initiate Chat"

 GtkVBox
 GtkVBox

 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
 0xb75f12c3 in strlen () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
 (gdb)
 (gdb) next
 Single stepping until exit from function strlen,
 which has no line number information.

 Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
 The program no longer exists.
