I get a SIGPIPE with very similar backtraces, but only in gaim-text, and this causes an abrupt death without any coredump.

If I run gaim-text by unsetting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS first, then gaim-text doesn't die (thanks to nosnilmot for the tip). But I don't know why dbus is dying in the first place.
