Pidgin Crashing on start-up using both desktop icon & from terminal.

[trennor]

I try to start Pidgin - which has worked very well for me for the past 10 months or so - and last night, after a terminal reset - I started experiencing problems:

I did an -strace; which yielded this message:

--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- write(2, "Pidgin has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.\nThis is a bug in the software and has happened through\nno fault of your own.\n\nIf you can reproduce the crash, please notify the Pidgin\ndevelopers by reporting a bug at\nhttp://pidgin.im/bug.php\n\nPlease make sure to specify what you were doing at the time\nand post the backtrace from the core file.

It goes on to ask me to report this to you. I'm running this version of pidgin on an FC7 linux.

But you missed the part where it said to get a backtrace.
