Bug#469863: pidgin and finch segfault on startup (armel arch)
block 469863 by 469517 thanks pidgin uses -fstack-protector, which is broken on arm and armel :( If you don't want to add a special case for DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=arm in debian/rules, you can look at hardening-wrapper for alternative of setting hardened paramaters. -- rm -rf only sounds scary if you don't have backups -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Could you run pidgin with MALLOC_CHECK_=3 set and see if you get a better backtrace? Still the same backtrace. Maybe it's not the code that changed, but something made the alignment of the data used change.
