This happens every time I paste text from a Pidgin chat window into the
text-box at the bottom.

Steps to reproduce:
 - Double click on a contact in your buddy list to open a chat window.
 - In the text box at the bottom, type "wocka wocka" (or anything else)
 - Select the text with the mouse, then right-click and choose 'copy'.
 - Click after the text to deselect it.
 - Right-click in the empty space, then choose "Paste as plain text".
   The text "wocka wocka" should appear.
 - Right-click in the empty space again, then choose "Paste".

Expected result:
 - A third copy of the text "wocka wocka" should appear.

Actual result:
 - The text "眀漀挀欀愀 眀漀挀欀愀" appears.

I notice that the first character of the gibberish replacement is
U+7700, while the intended text begins with the character U+0077.

Given that both I and the original reporter are using the PowerPC
architecture, I strongly suspect Pidgin has some bad endianness
assumptions.
