Comment(by darkrain42):

 Replying to [comment:13 darkrain42]:
 > The explanation for why this is crashing hasn't changed since
 [#comment:6 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.

 Since I don't appear to have written this anywhere on the ticket, I
 believe the best solution is to add an invocation option to the GTK+/glib
 perl bindings to tell them ''not'' to add their log handlers (things being
 used solely in a library manner shouldn't be setting global callbacks like
 that)
