 Pidgin crashes on startup when tries to show ICQ password request window.
 Debugging using gdb reveals following bug report.
 (I've hidden my ICQ number with word ''MY_ICQ_UIN'')

Comment:

 Does this happen with other protocols if you don't specify a password, or
 just with ICQ?

 There's nothing obviously wrong at the location it is crashing (and that
 code is used all over).
