I can get both versions of gaim to crash(segmentation fault) by doing the following: 1. Starting up gaim 2. Connect to any account 3. Right-click on any account, choose "user info" 4. Move the mouse over the textfield that displays the user info Gaim crashes every time I do this. It also happens in other situations, but I was unable to figure out how to reproduce it. Here's a backtrace(I compiled with USE="debug"): #0 0xb7d165b4 in gtk_text_insert () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #1 0xbfb01128 in ?? () #2 0xbfb01130 in ?? () #3 0xbfb01110 in ??

I just figured out that this is not gaim's fault: gtk-demo is crashing with exactly the same error while running the "multiple views text widget". The backtrace looks the same.
It's a problem with gcc-4.1.1: Using gcc-3.4.6 to compile gtk+ fixes the problem.
