You need to run pidgin using the GNU debugger gdb, then when it crashes
you should get a backtrace. In order to make that useful, with symbol
information, you also need to install the debug packages for pidgin.
You should be able to run pidgin by typing gdb pidgin in a terminal and
once the gdb process has started then type run. After the crash you
should be able to type bt full to get a backtrace for each thread.
Then look at the backtrace and try and work out where it crashed, if
it's within Pidgin then open a ticket on pidgin.im via Trac, otherwise
report the problem to whoever wrote the plugin where the crash occurs.
You should be able to Google for more information on using gdb, I don't
have the time or inclination to expand on that here.
