I can confirm this odd behavior that happens just with silc accounts.
A workaround for this problem is to downgrade to libsilc-1.0.2-2.fc6, the one
installed by default under fedora 7.
This suggest to me that the problem could be in libsilc itself but I didn't
investigate deeper.

I think we'll need a backtrace with both pidgin-debuginfo and libsilc-debuginfo
installed to be able to get anywhere with this.

This appears to be a libsilc problem, could you please try this libsilc package
to see if the crash is fixed, and if you are now able to log in to silc?

This seems to solve the problem for me. Now I can log in to silc without
crashing pidgin anymore.

I'm not convinced the contents of the buffer are in attacker's control; did
anyone conduct some investigation?
