 The only clue I have is that the message window that's opening when it
 crashes is a Twitter account.

 As far as plug-ins go, I'm ashamed to say I haven't a clue what I
 installed. I haven't used Pidgin in forever, really, but I have a gig
 coming up where some of the people I need to talk to want to use Google
 Talk so I have a need again. I upgraded Pidgin to the latest version,
 tried to start it and got this. I tried it again, about ten times total,
 and always the same thing: Buddy list loads names from my different
 accounts, message window pops up, Windows says Pidgin has crashed, click
 the button and everything closes.

 I installed the debug version of Pidgin and got this Pidgin.RPT file:
