 I have a strange lockup in Pidgin when pasting text from a website.

 Steps to reproduce:

 1) Use Chromium to navigate to

 http://docs.python.org/library/os.path.html

 2) Maximize the window and use CTRL-F to search in page for "expandvars"
 without the quotes

 3) You'll locate a paragraph (like in the screenshot
 [http://imgur.com/Kydzx] ) which you'll have to select and copy to the
 clipboard (it must include the orange highlight from the search); make
 sure you select up to the ending ".", not more.

 4) Paste that paragraph in pidgin's chat window; it should lock in an
 infinite (?) loop (see backtraces).

 {{{
 % cat /etc/lsb-release
 DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
 DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
 DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
 DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10"
 }}}

 I'm attaching a backtrace and a ldd dump.

 PS: I could only reproduce this using Chromium (my version is 9.0.597.98
 (74359) Ubuntu 10.10)
