I load up gaim, icq/aim/yahoo connects fine and runs. I run msn (by itself or with other protocols) and it crashes. I tried removing my blist.xml same problem. I followed the steps on the gaim gdb site and have provided the files on the website address listed above. gaim.log = gaim -d gaim.trace = strace -o gaim.trace gaim gaim.gdb = steps on the gaim site. the last backtrace is that with the MALLOC set to 2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open gaim connect to msn 2. 3. Actual Results: seg fault
Please attach backtraces and debug output as separate text files. It makes it easier our staff and then tracks those files for historical purposes and I know the files will always be here.

Is gaim-1.0.0 providing the same results? Are you using the HTTP method to connect?
I'm having this problem with gaim-1.0.0. I tried setting the "http" option, and it now connects without crashing. On an unrelated note, I can also make it crash by choosing "preferences, plugins" then clicking on the side bar (elevator) to see the other plugins that are further down (but this is probably a gcc 3.4 / gtk+ issue).
i was not using HTTP to connect. I havent had the problem yet with 1.0.0 (compiled with gcc 3.4 instead of 3.3 too)
it startwed crashing again today.... i think it might be a user on my msn list which comes online and kills gaim.
I'm having/had? the same problem. Gaim crashes on loading MSN. However my debug told me something about a problem with an offline message and switching to ICMB or similar, so I guess it's not the MSN but the Oscar module that's causing the problem. So I tried to redirect gaim's output to a file, e.g. 'gaim > gaim.log' and this time there was this message popping up: "You have been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. Wait ten Minutes and try again. If you continue to try, you will need to wait longer" Now it's but this message popping up and MSN loading fine. I'll wait for 40 min now and try again. If I'll be able to get a debug message about that offline message error, I'lL attach it to the file list.
Created attachment 40882 [details] gaim debug output This is the gaim debug where something about an oscar offline message is mentioned and the client crashes.
Sorry, just found out, my problem has not been msn related.
Kyle do you think you might be having this problem: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=235&atid=100235&func=detail&aid=1025405 If so, there was a fix committed to CVS that I could patch in.
Does this still happen with gaim-1.0.2?
It still does for me.
I was having a diffictulty with GAIM segfaulting until I recompiled dev-libs/nss and then x11-plugins/gaim-encryption. For me it didn't matter what version of GAIM I installed, but nss-3.9.2 caused issues. Still don't know why.
Eric your problem was caused by the dev-libs/nss maintainer changing the install location for those libs and not telling me. I don't think that would cause a crash, just not allow you to log in. More than likely not related to this issue.
Can you people duplicate crashing with gaim-1.1.0?
Waiting to hear back from you. Marking TEST-REQUEST until you test with 1.1.0.
