#9202: Pidgin crashes on MSN file transfers of file deleted after transfer
request.

---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 1. Start MSN file transfer / "offer to send file"
 2. Inadvertently delete the file before the transfer is accepted by the
 recipient.
 3. Dead pidgin, completely dies. I get a standard error in the
 ~/.xsession-errors file. I cannot verify it for 100% certain, but I think
 this happens when the transfer is accepted by the other side, and not
 before, just based on the amount of time it took to crash after I deleted
 the file.

 When I tried the backtrace I got a popup window with nothing in it that
 froze before the crash, and in my log of recent conversation text (upon
 restart) I have:

 (23:49:39) Error reading /tmp/test.txt:  No such file or directory.

 The contact I tested the bug with said, when asked about the timing of my
 apparent disconnection during this bug:

 "there was a delay of about 10-20 secs after i accepted with nothing
 happening then you appeared to d/c"

 Either way, Pidgin shouldn't die completely on such an issue. I guess the
 error handling is starting up, but somehow not functioning correctly in
 this eventuality, and crashing out.

 Pidgin comes from the Fedora Core RPM "2.5.5-1.fc10".

 Backtrace follows as attachment (html rendering kills it)...
