Package: pidgin Version: 2.0.1-1 Followup-For: Bug #440926 I contacted you a few days ago regarding a crash in Pidgin that I could not get a backtrace from. I ran
ulimit -c unlimited pidgin -d and then recieved a core file that unfortunately doesn't have any symbols in it. The following where the last entries before the crash in the -d output: First time: (16:38:15) album: Caching icon for buddy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (16:38:15) dbus: Need to register an object with the dbus subsystem.
