 In XP Pro, after pidgin 2.5.3 and also earlier versions have been running
 a few days, when clicking a URL I get the error "There is not enough free
 memory to run this program.  Quit one or more programs and try again." Yet
 I can run "firefox google.com" from start/run and everything else works
 fine.  Also, if I restart pidgin it works again.  Also, even if I do quit
 several large programs, pidgin will continue to give the error until it's
 restarted.  Note Pidgin's memory size is 150MB with 500 handles, 25
 threads, and 486 GDI objects.  The debug log says: winpidgin: Error
 opening URI: http://xkcd.com/208/ error: 8    I've attached the entire
 debug log.
