Created attachment 138366 [details] I tried to get a backtrace Here's a gdb output (gdb pidgin; handle SIGPIPE nostop; run; bt full; quit;)
See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml on hints how to produce a more useful backtrace.
Closing bug, the last gnutls seems to resolve the problem.
