Uhm.  That valgrind log is from up-to-date Intrepid.  That valgrind log
is only from a short period of time and you can clearly see the leaks it
produced.  Pidgin crashes on me every 2-3 days as it ends up getting
ENOMEM at 1GB of VM due to memory leaks.

No.  But why do we need to do that.  You now have a valgrind log in hand
that shows you exactly where the memory is leaking.

What was the point of collecting the valgrind log if we are going to go
through one of these "stab-in-the-dark" debugging processes where we try
enabling/disabling everything one-by-one until we find a culprit?

Are you kidding me?  Do you know how painful it was to try to be
productive with pidgin while valgriding it?  I use IRC constantly, all
day long to communicate with co-workers.  Having it running pitifully
slow while being run under valgrind was painful.  I take offence at your
characterization of it being "little" effort.

32 bit.

[intrepid] Pidgin at times produces segfault. Valgrind included shows memory 
leaks.
