Backtrace of Crash

Here is the console output captured by running USE=\"debug\" gdb gaim
Comment 2 Derek Berube 2004-09-29 08:06:00 UTC
I'm running Gaim 1.0.0 with the following plugins:

Auto-Reconnect 1.0.0
Extended Preferences 0.3
Gaim-Encryption 2.3.1
History 1.0.0
Iconify on Away 1.0.0
Message Notification 1.0.0
Release Notification 1.0.0
System Tray Icon 1.0.0
Text Replacement 1.0.0

Gaim crashes even when these plugins are not loaded.
Comment 3 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-18 11:46:24 UTC
The USE parameter only affects the 'emerge' for compiling gaim.  It does nothing for gdb or running gaim.
Comment 4 Derek Berube 2004-10-18 19:09:44 UTC
I'm using Gaim 1.01 and it still crashes when I attempt to make "Expanded" contacts out of offline buddies.
Comment 5 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-19 22:41:57 UTC
This is working just fine for me.  Is this happening for every buddy or is there a certain protocol and buddy name that might affected?
Comment 6 Derek Berube 2004-10-20 09:18:00 UTC
It does not appear to be specific buddy, but it does appear to be related to the MSN Messenger protocol.  Every time I try to move the mouse over the offline MSN buddy when I restart Gaim, it crashes.
Comment 7 Derek Berube 2004-10-20 09:20:28 UTC
I'm going to try to experiment with this to reproduce the exact scenario.  I think that what is happening is that I have a non-MSN messenger offline buddy that I "Expand".  I then drag an offline MSN buddy to the expanded handle (so they will be grouped).  At this point Gaim crashes.  If, when Gaim is restarted, I move my mouse over the MSN buddy I tried to add to the expanded buddy, Gaim crashes again.

I'll try to verify this, but I'm running out of buddies.
Comment 8 Derek Berube 2004-10-20 11:26:18 UTC
This does not appear to be a problem in version 1.02.  I'm not sure which resolution code I should use for this.  It appears to have been fixed by/with the Gaim developers.
Comment 9 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-20 12:03:25 UTC
Okey dokey.
