Pidgin crashes randomly
Last modified: 2009-01-19 11:45:48 UTC
GNOME version: 2.20.3 Pidgin plays ok sounds but after some time, 1-3 hours it crashes unexpextedly. Don't know how to reproduce this, but for sure pidgin crashes 2-3 times during the day. Here is back trace: (gdb) thread apply all bt full

I don't see a crash in this stack trace. Also, any chance you could try with a more current version of GStreamer core and gst-plugins-base? There have been a good bunch of fixes for shutdown races and other conditions in recent releases. The current release is 0.10.17, and there are already 0.10.17.X pre-releases for the upcoming 0.10.18 release next week as well.
