backtrace from pidgin crash

This is the backtrace produced by pidgin when it crashed

[Comment 2 Aaron Sheldon 2007-05-11 16:46:28 UTC]

This may be related to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148128 -  what version of dbus are you using?

[Comment 3 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2007-08-22 03:08:23 UTC]

I don't know which version of pidgin.. lets hope this is really a dupe.. if its not.. re-open.. if you can reproduce with the latest gnome-vfs and pidgin 2.1.1 or later
