thanks
This bug looks a lot like #404590. I think upstream is working on a fix.
Michael: do you happen to have 'combined' contacts, as in #404590?
Ian and OTR people, FYI, if this bug isn't fixed ASAP, gaim-otr will
unfortunately likely be removed from Debian 4.0 (etch) because of the
severity of this bug...

Package: gaim-otr
Version: 3.0.0+cvs20060530-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After installing gaim-otr, when gaim is started it pops up a dialog box
titled "GStreamer Failure" and with contents "GStreamer failed to initialize"
In the console I started gaim from, several lines that looks like
=====
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x00000000005f9fd8 ***
=====
print out, and then one new line is printed about every 18 seconds.
In the buddy list window, each messaging service is off-line and has
an error message to the effect of
"disconnected: ... unable to send request to resolver process" or
"disconnected: Couldn't connect to host"
When I run gaim in debug mode (gaim -d), the following is in the output:
=====
....
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x00000000005f9fd8 ***
dns: Created new DNS child 21220, there are now 1 children.
dns: DNS child 21220 no longer exists
dnsquery: Unable to send request to resolver process
proxy: Connection attempt failed: Unable to send request to resolver process
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x00000000005f9fd8 ***
dns: Created new DNS child 21221, there are now 1 children.
dns: DNS child 21221 no longer exists
dnsquery: Unable to send request to resolver process
proxy: Connection attempt failed: Unable to send request to resolver process
....
=====
When I remove gaim-otr, gaim works properly.
Without gaim-otr installed, the same section in debug mode looks like:
=====
....
dns: Created new DNS child 21274, there are now 1 children.
dns: Successfully sent DNS request to child 21274
dns: Created new DNS child 21275, there are now 2 children.
dns: Successfully sent DNS request to child 21275
....
