 I try to start Pidgin - which has worked very well for me for the past 10
 months or so - and last night, after a terminal reset - I started
 experiencing problems:

 I did an -strace; which yielded this message:

 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
 write(2, "Pidgin has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.\nThis
 is a bug in the software and has happened through\nno fault of your

 It goes on to ask me to report this to you. I'm running this version of
 pidgin on an FC7 linux.
