--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  janielu  |        Type:  defect

 Version:  2.0.2    |    Keywords:  core dump, segfault

 Hi There.

 I'm running Solaris. I open pidgin by running:

 /pkg/gnome/bin/pidgin

 Lately it's been crapping out as follows:
 ---------------------------------
  -> Pidgin 2.6.2 has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
 This is a bug in the software and has happened through
 no fault of your own.

 If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the developers
 by reporting a bug at:
 http://developer.pidgin.im/simpleticket/

 Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time
 and post the backtrace from the core file.  If you do not know
 how to get the backtrace, please read the instructions at
 http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/GetABacktrace

 [1]    Abort                /pkg/gnome/bin/pidgin (core dumped)

 ---------------------------------

 I followed the directions posted to get a backtrace, and after running gdb
 and eventually enter "run" per the instructions, pidgin opens fine so I
 can't reproduce the problem in gdb. BUT if I'm not running gdb, running
 /pkg/gnome/bin/pidgin still core dumps.

 Got any ideas? In the meanwhile I'll run gdb to use pidgin, ha.

 BTW I know this pidgin version is really old. I work for Sun Microsystems
 and this is the version my group is using.
