You probably have some serious issues with your computer or your distro and this is just a symptom. I've been running gaim from freshrpms for months (even upgrading the system from rh9 to fedora core betas, and now fedora core). My system never does this. Does gaim core-dump? What does bug-buddy say about it (bug-buddy can get you a stack trace). Shot in the dark, but I'd say you've got some bad RAM. Either that or you have a GTK version problem (say a conflict between a system-installed gtk set of libraries and ones you've compiled yourself. Another idea is to build gaim from source, make sure the -g debug flag is turned on, then do ulimit -c 1000000 to make sure cores are turned on and run gaim. When it crashes, load gaim in a debugger and load up the core and see where it was dying.
