 I was running pidgin remotely and the box running the X server froze, so I
 turned off the box and restarted. When I got X running again and tried to
 run pidgin, I found that pidgin was still running (unaware that the X
 server died).

 I tried to kill it several times with some "normal" signals (SIGTERM,
 SIGHUP, SIGINT), but it still refuses to die. Then I took a look at the
 log and found this:

 }}}
 So it would appear that asserting for "core != NULL" before agreeing to
 exit is wrong, or at least wrong in some cases.

 (I finally killed it successfully with SIGBUS.)
