my pidgin keep crashing on me: Ubuntu 8.10

[Harvey King]

I am going to do something really bad:  I am going to attach all the back trace.  Can someone explain to me what might of went wrong?

in the beginning, i thought it's facebook/pecan plugins, so I disabled them.

i couldn't figure out what might cause the problem, would someone shed some light on this?

thanks
