 I recently made a switch from AIM to pidgin. I downloaded the latest
 version of the software and tried logging onto it. When I do the system
 crashes without any real rhyme or reason. It appears from looking at the
 debug window that the issue is with an SSL handshake, however when I pull
 up the bug report I see the following:

 I've dug around a bit with google, and all I found about this particular
 error is the following result. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r24643698
 -Free-Pidgin-IM-Client-v-273-released

 Is this what's really happening? How do I get around this to log onto my
 account?
