Comment(by eniac):

 So when Pidgin does segfault, everything is okay??[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 '''For anyone who might have the same issue''', here is workaround which
 did work for me:[[BR]]
 0) Before using this workaround you should know, that this might be
 harmful for your system. You should consider if it is worth enough to try
 it.[[BR]]
 1) Get ubuntu package pidgin-sipe_1.5.0-0. (E.g. here:
 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pidgin-sipe/ ). This
 version does work for me.[[BR]]
 2) Unfortunately this package wouldn't meet squeeze dependencies. Even if
 you install it forcefully, you will run into troubles next time you run
 apt.[[BR]]
 So you have to use even more brute force. Unpack the contents of the
 package and copy it in /usr.
 I believe that is enough to copy just /usr/lib/pidgin/libsipe.so but I
 copied the whole content.
