 When I try to open Pidgin, and I want to switch on Connected mode, I've a
 segmentation fault (when contacts appear online). It's the first time :

 I did not update my system.

Comment:

 Please follow [wiki:GetABacktrace the instructions] to get a backtrace and
 attach it to this ticket.[[BR]]2.4.3 is really old.

 I suspect this is a bug that has been long fixed.

 I suggest you use a newer version from debian backports.

 If not, please provide a backtrace with debug symbols.
