Comment(by bewest):

 Sorry, you are correct.  It does not "crash".  It says what's pasted
 below.

 It hangs at this point.  I can try attaching valgrind.  If I hit ctr-c,
 pidgin ends and gdb won't give me a backtrace.  Any advice? I can try
 running under valgrind.

 After it hangs, the GUI is somewhat responsive ( hover states on buttons
 ), but eventually I have to force it to die.  I'll see if I can get it to
 crash.
