#10416: Odd Pidgin Freeze/Memory Consumption

I searched (admittedly, not very hard) but did not find this. Sorry if it
is posted as a repeat.
I can consistently make Pidgin 2.6.2 freeze and consume 1.7GiB of memory
simply by sending a message to someone who is not online to receive it.
Over and over and over it happens.
Symptoms:
Message goes through once you press enter. Then Pidgin sits there, acting
all normal. Let a few minutes pass and suddenly it is not responding to
user input and Windows shows it as frozen (Not Responding).
Check task manager to kill it and you see it is taking up a HUGE portion
of memory suddenly.
Mind you, this has only been tested with sending messages to people on MSN
who are currently offline.
All plugins are default that come with the installer package. Only ones
enabled are Psychic Mode and Release Notification.
