#8918: pidgin crashes as soon as jabber is enabled

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Pidgin instantly crashes on start when my jabber account is supposed to be
 auto-connected. (Changed the settings in accounts.xml manually.)

 Pidgin starts and works almost normal when only ICQ and/or IRC or no
 account is enabled. Then only the contact information for ICQ (when
 running ICQ) is black except for the status icon, the protocol icon and
 the buddy icon. All plug-ins are disabled and the preferences set to
 default.

 Pidgin crashes/segfaults immediately when a jabber account is enabled, no
 matter if it's an existing one or a new one (on a different server).

 I'm running pidgin on debian unstable with libx11-6 (2:1.2-1) and libxml2
 (2.7.3dfsg-1) installed.

 Attachments are backtraces from gdb for both scenarios (start and enabling
 jabber while pidgin is already running), although differences are minimal.

 The file errors contains the error messages pidgin left in the console
 before core dumps were enabled (startup scenario). I couldn't find any
 pattern as to which message would appear when.
