Comment(by raikon):

 Unfortunately, enabling "force login" only works around the segfault on
 Linux, because there it happens in the libsametime lib when it is checked
 whether to redirect or force login. Since the check for the flag is before
 the compare of current_host and host it avoids the strcmp() if set to
 true.
 Not so on Windows, there the crash already happens in the g_message()
 function way before in the meanwhile lib, because the printf cannot handle
 NULL arguments on Windows. BUT, while thinking about it: g_message is only
 used to print debug messages.
 Try to turn off debug messages for pidgin and enable the force login.
 Maybe that is enough to ship around both segfault places.
