Those are not in pidgin, but in msn-pecan. My advice is to use the built-in msn plugin, not pecan.
Thanks for the report, can you recompile pidgin-msn-pecan (and maybe pidgin too) with debug informations enabled? http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml Also upstream suggests to run pidgin as: # pidgin --debug > debug_log.txt This will help them track the problem. At first glance, I've not seen any recent commit that could fix your crash, and it works fine here so I cannot reproduce
pidgin-msn-pecan-0.0.19 is in tree and fixes a few crashes, please test it. The announcement (and list of fixed items) is here: http://felipec.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/msn-pecan-0-0-19-released-more-stability-and-now-playing-support/ Please reopen if it is not fixed in this release
