Re: [orca-list] pidgin crashing randomly when restarting orca

[Tyna Pelletier-Bilodeau <ecole tyna gmail com>]

Hi,
since this is kinda hard to reproduce, I kept the full core dump and ran 
gdb on it with: coredumpctl gdb 15857 -- the pid of pidgin at the time 
of the crash. Then I used bt to get the backtrace, and here it is:

Oof sorry it was a bit spammy. Anyway, I hope this will help to know 
what is actually going on. If it requires something else please let me 
know, I will not delete the core dump until this issue has been either 
fixed or reported to pidgin themselves.
Thanks !
