Comment(by rifter):

 I am running 2.7.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
 pidgin was recently updated to this version.
 I get cpu spikes and pidgin actually spawns a whole bunch of processes and
 uses 100% of all four of my cores.  I disabled all the plugins and that
 did not fix the problem (I only had the libnotify plugin and the nautilus
 integration checked, apparently, and I have not seen the libnotify bubbles
 lately, anyway.
 Sometimes it starts up fine, but it always eventually spikes.  If I quit
 it does not die, only kill -9 works, and then it will tend to spike all
 over again when I start it up.
