Comment(by davesiracusa):

 I've been able to reproduce this issue as conversations are opened, one
 after another until the crash occurs.  It doesn't affect all users at our
 company.  We have found if we disable Windows themes for pidgin.exe the
 problem doesn't happen.  I created a simple plugin to disable Windows 7
 themes which includes the following logic:
    FARPROC proc = wpurple_find_and_loadproc("UxTheme.dll",
 "SetThemeAppProperties");
    if (proc)
    {
       purple_debug_info(PLUGIN_NAME, "Turn off themes\n");
       proc(0);
    }
