Public bug reported: I've been using Pidgin since forever and it's been very stable, but ever since I've updated to 15.10 I'm getting semi-regular (once or twice a week) crashes.
Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 Pidgin 1:2.10.11-0ubuntu4 Here's a stack trace from my latest crash a few minutes ago, after I installed the pidgin-dbg package: $ gdb -c core.pidgin.3643.1450721666 /usr/bin/pidgin GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.10-1ubuntu2) 7.10 Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
