Package: pidgin
Version: 2.5.4-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


When logged in as a non root user, starting pidgin from the menu results 
in no visible effect, except a few seconds of CPU usage. Starting pidgin 
from the command line of a gnome terminal immediately results in this 
error message:

s...@oberon:~$ pidgin 
Pidgin 2.5.4 hat einen Speicherzugriffsfehler festgestellt und 
versucht, eine Core-Datei zu schreiben.  Dies ist ein 
Fehler im Programm und kein Fehler von Ihnen.

Wenn Sie den Absturz reproduzieren können, informieren Sie 
bitte die Entwickler mit einem Fehlerbericht auf:
http://developer.pidgin.im/simpleticket/

Bitte geben Sie unbedingt an, was Sie getan haben als der 
Fehler aufgetreten ist, und posten Sie den Backtrace aus 
der Core-Datei. Falls Sie nicht wissen, wie man einen 
Backtrace erstellt, lesen Sie bitte die Informationen auf 
http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/GetABacktrace
Abgebrochen


Translated to English:

Pidgin 2.5.4 has encountered a memory access fault and is attempting to 
write a core file. This is a fault of the program and not your fault.

If you can reproduce the crash, please inform the developers by issuing 
a bug report to http://developer.pidgin.im/simpleticket/

By all means, please write what you have done when the fault happened, 
and post the backtrace from the core file. If you don't know how to 
create a backtrace, please read the information on
