Package: pidgin Version: 2.4.2-2 Severity: important Hi, Pidgin seems to be randomly segfaulting on receiving a particular dbus message. The gdb backtrace and debug log are not very informative:
(11:10:44) cap: Executing: insert into cap_status (buddy, account, protocol, status, event_time) values([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Gaim, prpl-jabber, available, now()); [New Thread 0xb515cb90 (LWP 29009)] libhal.c 3476 : Error unsubscribing to signals, error=Connection is closed Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) The first line is the last element of debug output. The I see the peculiar hal warning, which always seems to occur just prior to the segfault. It may well be that the dbus/hal environment on this machine is slightly hosed (though I don't really see how), but I think that that is not a valid cause for pidgin to segfault when it receives a bad dbus message, do you?
