Comment:

 It's the same crash.

 Please run Pidgin in valgrind, using [wiki:CHowTo/Valgrind these
 instructions].  When running in Valgrind, there are two things to note:
  1. It's going to be fairly slow
  2. It won't actually crash.  Instead, you'll see a message in the
 terminal that looks ''roughly'' like this:
 {{{
 Invalid read of size 4
    at 0x40F6BBCC: (within /usr/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.9)
    by 0x40F6B804: (within /usr/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.9)
    by 0x40B07FF4: read_png_image(QImageIO *) (kernel/qpngio.cpp:326)
    by 0x40AC751B: QImageIO::read() (kernel/qimage.cpp:3621)
  Address 0xBFFFF0E0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or free'd
 }}}

 (it will reference /usr/lib/pidgin/caps.so)
