 My friend left a message offline that goes like this (where after the
 timestamp and his screenname(plus ':' ) is his message ):

 Each time I opened pidgin(or gaim), these 4 lines would show up and then
 crashed pidgin(or gaim)

 (05/14/2010 10:03:29 PM) Ning: yeah, they are far
 (05/14/2010 10:03:32 PM) Ning: they are closed to SF
 (05/14/2010 10:03:39 PM) Ning: LA and SF, 8 hrs drive
 (05/14/2010 10:03:48 PM) Ning: but you can contact them and see




 I have tried to get a backtrace for pidgin, but there is not so much
 debugging information available, not sure this is helpful at all( the
 pidgin is installed at a public directory in our university, so I cannot
 recompile the program with -g or something similar), the incomplete
 backtrace looks like this:

 {{{

 Not sure if the above info is helpful at all.

 Thank you!
