Comment(by deryni):

 evilnebby in #pidgin reported this the other day as well.

 He tracked it down to a plugin of his using the perl DateTime module (both
 the normal and PP versions). I imagine other modules may trigger the same
 issue, though confirmation of that would be helpful.

 He worked around the problem by using a run-time require of the module
 instead of a compile-time use of it.

 Figuring out what exactly the problem here is would be great but I'm not
 sure how best to go about debugging it at the moment and don't have a
 machine on which to poke at it myself right now.
