I have the same problem. I doesn't happen only when I go away. As soon as I log in and pidgin tries to connect, it crashes. I use a HSDPA connection, so as long as I'm offline everything works fine. If I start the connection and try to connect on pidgin, it crashes.
I have 3 accounts: msn messenger, google talk and icq. Tried to connect individually (msn account) and it crashed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
