#8835: Segfault at startup

 I am completely unfamiliar with Pidgin's inner workings, but I just
 stumbled upon a very annoying bug which kills the application at startup,
 just as some accounts are getting enabled. As this happens both with
 Pidgin and Finch, I guess this is due to libpurple - But I cannot say on
 which protocol it stumbles (although it _seems_ to get the contacts list
 at least for IRC, SILC and ICQ - But I don't know in which phase of the
 negotiation does it break). FWIW, I currently have registered accounts on
 ICQ, MSN, Jabber, IRC (two active accounts), SILC and Yahoo - Yes, not too
 helpful :)
 I am using the current Debian Unstable version, official packages
 (2.5.5-1).
 Anyway, I'm attaching the backtraces for both finch and pidgin. As Debian
 provided binaries are compiled with stripped symbols, I am also attaching
 the corresponding straces, hoping they are more useful.
