Running pidgin like that for some time (about 10 minutes) I got up to 4 zombies. Then I waitet 3-4 minutes and no update in the log appeared. But then the number increased to 5 zombies and these lines were written in the log (replacing sensitive data by ZZZ):

Do we have the culprit already found? (I'll disable the account which is trying to connect irc.ZZZ.ZZZ now to see if that helps...) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245666 Title: Pidgin is creating zombies with 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/1245666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
