 If I enable my yahoo account, pidgin crashes during its start-up. I have
 noticed this issue with sipe plugin as well (bt is attached).

 This is what I noticed on the console after starting it with debug option.

 Pidgin 2.5.5 has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
 This is a bug in the software and has happened through
 no fault of your own.
