Please, try to reproduce this problem with pidgin-2.7.0-r1 and if problem is still there, rebuild pidgin (as you alredy did), glib and glibc with debugging symbols and show us updated backtrace. It should contain less unknown symbols. Ideally we need backtrace with all symbols known. Thanks!

Sorry, I only modified glibc debugging symbols for that backtrace. Thanks for taking the time to look in to my problem. I'm not sure if I should mark as resolved or not, so I'll let that up to you.
Thank you Samuel. -r1 has upstream fixes for some crashes too. And since this problem is fixed for you, let's mark this bug as such :)
