There are lots of messages in stdout and some in stderr. I won't attach them because there are lots of personnal information there (nicks, etc.) The last part of one run is: oscar: Uploading icon to icon server oscar: no more icons to request Hi, user. We need to talk. I think something's gone wrong here. It's probably my fault. No, really, it's not you... it's me... no no no, I think we get along well it's just that.... well, I want to see other people. I... what?!? NO! I haven't been cheating on you!! How many times do you want me to tell you?! And for thelast time, it's just a rash! dns[10775]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...! dns[10774]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...! Even when I redirect stdout and stderr to a file, I get this in command line: Hi, user. We need to talk. I think something's gone wrong here. It's probably my fault.

BTW, I trust my machine, and I know she's not cheating on me :-) other run: blist: Failed to save blist bar 1 bar 2 bar 3 prefs: writing prefs out to disk. prefs: Failed to save prefs (I have also seen "foo 1"... messages
Also rebuild glib and gtk+ with USE="debug" and FEATURES="nostrip" and add -g to CFLAGS.
FYI, redhat bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149190
Also output from strace wouldn't hurt.
Debian bug is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=295904
Master upstream bug is now http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1145742&group_id=235&atid=100235
Upstream asked to focus there.
