If you strace pidgin, you will see that it tries to read from a socket
which is closed, but this fact is ignored. When pidgin hangs, strace is
an endless repetition of:
[pid 19682] poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=18,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN,
revents=POLLIN}], 8, 0) = 1
[pid 19682] recv(16, "", 5, 0) = 0
[pid 19682] read(3, 0x812ebd4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
[pid 19682] gettimeofday({1220648322, 974206}, NULL) = 0
There's a fix in the upstream version for this:
