Comment(by malcolm):

 Ok, I've finally managed to reproduce this. For some reason, it seems like
 when running as `pidgin -d`, the bug seems to almost never occur. Also,
 when the bug did finally occur, it did not consume all my memory before
 finally crashing; it crashed within a couple of seconds, without consuming
 all memory. (However, as you will see in the debug output below, a
 Segmentation Fault still did occur.) I'm not certain that these
 differences are just because of the `-d` flag, but I thought I'd just
 mention it; it may be worth investigating.

 I sent an MSN message to an off-line buddy that had sent me a message. The
 sequence of events that occurred were as follows:
  1. Buddy came on-line.
  1. Buddy sends me two messages.
  1. Buddy goes off-line.
  1. I send a message to Buddy. The message was, in this case, a 9-digit
 number.
  1. Pidgin crashes soon after.

 I've tried to summarize the debug output below. Alternatively, I could
 send you the full raw debug output. (I don't have permission to attach
 files to this post, unfortunately).

 }}}

 In the output above, I've changed the email addresses, so that bots don't
 get at them, etc. My email address has been changed to
 `me123456 at gmail.com` and my friend's email address has been changed to
 `buddy123 at hotmail.com`.

 So judging from the debug output, it seems that Pidgin attempted to send
 my message multiple times to Buddy. Indeed, when I started Pidgin again, I
 opened the message log between me and Buddy, and here is what it said:
 {{{
 ...
 (06:04:31 PM) Me: 301023492
 (06:04:45 PM) Message was not sent because messages are being sent too
 quickly.
 (06:04:45 PM) 301023492
 }}}

 I hope this has been useful. If you need more information, please do not
 hesitate to ask, as I am eager for this issue to finally get resolved :).
