[Bug 265055] [NEW] Pidgin backport segfault in libc.so

[Martin]

Public bug reported:

I just installed the latest Pidgin backport using Synatpic, and it
segfaults in strcmp() in the C library. Please send me to the correct
place to report this, if it isn't here :)

Here's the gdb trace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
