Comment(by darkrain42):

 The explanation for why this is crashing hasn't changed since [#comment6 a
 year ago], namely that the glib/gtk perl modules are installing their own
 log handlers, and then break because assertion failures coming from
 libpurple and Pidgin don't have the associated context.

 As I also said then, I don't know enough about Perl's internals to know
 why various methods and order of operations do or do not cause the perl
 glib bindings to try to install their log handlers (or perhaps an ordering
 issue where Pidgin installs them after glib's).
